Dagens digitala teknik utvecklas ständigt och de digitala resurser som finns tillgängliga i skolorna går också igenom en förändringsprocess. I samband med detta möter den dagliga verksamheten i skolan de tekniska förändringar som pågår i samhället. Syftet med arbetet är att beskriva och skapa förståelse för de förutsättningar som lärare anser sig ha för att använda Information och kommunikationsteknik, IKT, i sin undervisning i årskurserna 4-6 i Luleå Kommun. Genomförandet bestod av en kvalitativ intervjustudie bland verksamma lärare i mer än hälften av skolorna i kommunen. I resultatet har vi fått fram att läromiljöns utformning påverkar de förutsättningar som läraren har för att använda IKT i sin undervisning.

This bachelor thesis examines and discusses the question: "How can graphics for newscasts be adapted to follow technological developments in various media and increase its informative quality?" The work was performed on Swedish Television's own graphic department, SVT design in order to examine how news graphics need to be developed to follow the technological changes in media. The production resulted in a news graphics concept divided into three parts. Two of the sections show examples of how graphics can be adapted according to platform and the third section shows examples of news graphics that are produced at SVT Design by me. The bachelor thesis focuses on the development of technology in the media and examines areas such as interactive solutions, news graphics and the traditional television media..

The purpose of this thesis was to study a selection of Swedish government agencies and their usage of new media to convey information. We thought that the relationship between government agencies and the media should be addressed. This because of the current transitional period between traditional and new media. We have studied five different Swedish government agencies; Swedish Armed Forces, Swedish Tax Agency, Swedish National Institute of Public Health, Trafikverket and Sida.We used a qualitive content analysis and analyzed their homepages on the basis of six different criteria. In addition to this we studied their presence on external social communities and how the government agencies comply with the requirements of their communicative efforts.The study shows that the government agencies? media usage varies.

Syftet med detta arbete är dels att ge en orientering till blivande aspiranter om ämnet digitala bilder samt relaterat till det hur bevisprövning sker i Sverige. Jag vill också bidra till en ökad förståelse av hur detta påverkar polisens del i rättskedjan samt se om det finns några gemensamma riktlinjer för hur detta skall hanteras. För att man skall förstå varför det kan uppkomma frågor kring hur bilder används vid en rättegång så måste man förstå det svenska systemet med fri bevisprövning. Därför börjar denna rapport i det avsnittet för att sedan gå in på hur bilder hanteras i Sverige och till viss del i USA. Detta arbete syftar även till att orientera läsaren inom några områden inom digitala bilder, i tur och ordning avhandlas Metadata, Manipulering av bilder, Komprimering och Upplösning.

Barn och unga av idag är digitalt infödda i förhållande till oss vuxna som är invandrade i dagens digitala samhälle. Då skolan speglar samhället är det en högaktuell fråga hur vi tar tillvara elevernas digitala kunskap i skolans lärande. Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka hur iPad kan användas som ett pedagogiskt verktyg i undervisningen med avseende på multimodalitet, motivation och social interaktion i lärandemiljöer. Utgångspunkten i undersökningen har varit ett aktionsforskande förhållningssätt där jag tillsammans med lärare och elever i särskild undervisningsgrupp har undersökt iPad som pedagogisk verktyg i lärandet. Genom observationer och intervjuer på arbetsplatsen, studiebesök inom förskolan, en tematisk planeringsdag för pedagoger samt ett rikt omfång av aktuell forskning kring iPad i undervisningen kan man konstatera att iPad i sig själv inte är ett pedagogiskt verktyg utan kan ses som ett tomt skal som är multimodalt förberett men som kan fyllas med appar som är helt individuellt anpassade utifrån den enskilde elevens behov.

Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to describe the social media usage of five European official national tourism organizations (NTO). The essay proceeds to discuss and evaluate the findings, whilst reflecting on the advantages of social media usage from the point of view of an official national tourism organization.Method: The authors used three different methods of research: one structured observation to study the national tourism organizations? everyday work in social media, one field stimulation to study if and how different NTO respond if a prospective visitor makes them a direct question via social media and finally an email interview to gain insight into NTO?s underlying strategies and policies about social media usage.Theoretical framework: The theories that have been used in this paper include the Uses and gratifications model, theories of one-way and multi-way communication, theories of social media and relationship marketing.Conclusion: By making use of social media the company releases some of its control to the customers as the latter can express their opinions freely in this type of media. One of the advantages of social media is that the platform favors dialogue and feedback. Social media can be used for traditional one-way communication, but works best as a supplement to the regular marketing activities, allowing the activities on social media platforms to focus on branding and building long-term customer relationships.

The purpose of this study is to discover and explain the influences of media coverage of organizational crises on crisis communication, and vice versa. The study also shows how mediated crises develop, and how media framing and news sources affect this development.Carried out as a case study of three Swedish mediated crises, the methods used are quantitative and qualitative content analysis of media content from four Swedish newspapers and four organizations' press releases from the studied crises.Mediated crises develop through their specific pattern regardless of, but not independent from, the organizations' crisis communication. The crisis communication is used as an elite source in media reporting from the crises, but it can not control the mediated crises. However, it influences framing, and the possibilities to influence media reporting are better in the pre-crisis phase and the culmination..

Many media buyers annually spend money on advertising which will not be of benefit to their own brand; the fact that consumers confuse from which brand they have heard or seen commercials, comes as news to nobody. The phenomenon of media confusion has however earned much less attention. As a greater part of the total marketing budget is being spent on the media investments, on behalf of the actual advertising production, the more interesting it turns out to maximize the effects of the media expenses. The search for optimization is somewhat practised today by brand managers who are daringly adding a few more media channels to support their TV-campaigns. Buying ad space in TV is nevertheless much more expensive than the radio equivalent.

Purpose/Aim: The aim is to study the critics own views upon their profession and upon the development of criticism, and to thereafter set this in relation to contemporary theory and debates.Material/Method: A qualitative study pursued through personal interviews. The results are categorized and split into different themes.Main Results: Through media convergence and a changed media culture the conditions for criticism have also been altered. But in spite of various negative prophecies, these changes cause no serious threat to criticism. New forums and new forms of criticism actually increase the importance of the traditional ditto as the authoritative voice that holds the field together. Still, there are questions and fears about a future seemingly less and less predictable.

This study is based on an inductive approach where the collected empirical data has been categorized in themes on which we have based the discussion in this paper. Using a qualitative method, nine appropriately selected respondents were questioned with an unstructured interview guide. The transition to a society characterized by interaction has caused a greater part for bilateral communication between consumer and consumer but also between consumer and company. The increased usage and integration on Internet has resulted in so called social media channels. User generated material is published on these media channels which leads to discussions about companies, products and services.
