INTRODUCTION (1 of 2) Traditional mass media
communication are undergoing a process of
remodelling of their nature and aims The
emergence of new information and communications
technology has brought with it a radical change,
leading to the appearance of new communicational
dimensions The increasing digitisation of
communications processes and products over the
last decade implies important changes not only
in the communicative content, but also in the
necessary associated tasks for their creation,
production and diffusion

INTRODUCTION (2 of 2) This new field of
possibilities opened by the Internet and the new
information and communication technologies has
led us to face up to the task of


teaching and experiencing the act of digital
audiovisual communication through the
innovative use of free software resources

• FREE SOFTWARE AND COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENTS
• IN A VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY(1 of 4)
• One of the distinctive traits of free software is
  its ability to strengthen collaborative networks,
  as users become active members of development
  communities
• Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) share with
  Free Software the idea of virtual teams.
• We have the chance to create e-learning
  communities characterised in terms of
  independence, commitment and diversity
• We are interested in studying how collaborative
  networks in VLE-based media studies are
  established though the use of free software

• FREE SOFTWARE AND COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENTS
• IN A VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY(2 of 4)
• VLE-based media studies. Our kind of student
• Adult or young adult
• High level of personal and academic maturity
• Previous professional experience and training
• Reasonable economic level
• Solid knowledge of ICTs
• Required balance between professional and
  personal lives
• Wide ranging expectations

• FREE SOFTWARE AND COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENTS
• IN A VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY(3 of 4)
• Three fundamental advantages of Free Software in
  a VLE
• Technological compatibility
• Ease of distribution and access
• Promotion of students independence
• VLE provide a unique opportunity to observe the
  relations that are established in learning
  communities aimed at creating and experimenting
  with audiovisuals.
• Two kinds of VLE-based media communities
• Focused on a single subject or skill (i.e. video
  or sound editing).
• Focused on the entirety of a media project.

• FREE SOFTWARE AND COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENTS
• IN A VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY(4 of 4)
• Our proposal
• The study of the possibilities of free software
  as a tool for new media e-learning
• The study of certain VLE-based communities as a
  case study of consumption and production of
  digital media the dissolution between learning
  and consumer environments and professional
  practice in a delimited virtual space, focusing
  on the study of patterns of connection and use,
  spontaneous online and offline initiatives,
  online collaborative networks, leadership and
  identity issues

NEW MEDIA DESIGN, CREATION AND PRODUCTION USING
FREE RESOURCES AND TOOLS (1 of 5) A basic list
of freeware tools needed to the design and
creation of a basic new media production should
include - Freeware for processing of bitmap
graphics - Freeware for processing of vector
graphics - Freeware for processing and editing
digital sound - Freeware for processing and
editing of digital video All of them are
included in different subjects that form part of
the UOCs Audiovisual Communication Programme, as
Visual Design, Digital Video Creation or
Design and Creation of Digital Sound

SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND VIRTUAL
COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITIES FOR THE INNOVATION AND
SPREAD OF AUDIOVISUAL FREE SOFTWARE (1 of 2)
New freeware projects are added daily, whilst
others Are adapted or modified in terms of the
new interests or needs arising from the
radically evolving reality that is audiovisual
communication A summerised list of some active
virtual collaborative communities in the
innovation, promotion and distribution of free
software must include
