The following message was submitted by [log in to unmask] to the SCREEN-L list
at UA1VM.UA.EDU. It is being forwarded to you for verification because the
message has been identified as a possible "spam", that is, an advertisement or
other unsolicited material sent to large numbers of mailing lists with no
consideration for whether or not the material is appropriate for the lists it
is being sent to. A single "spam" can result in the delivery of millions of
unwanted e-mail messages worldwide, costing the victims and service providers a
total of several hundred thousand dollars. The cost to the spammer is usually
under five dollars. To be effective, a counter-measure must neutralize the spam
within the first five minutes. Consequently, there is no time for all the
LISTSERV servers to compare notes with each other before acting, and some
legitimate postings may be intercepted erroneously. If this is the case, simply
forward this message back to the list with an explanatory note.

Subject: New Online Resources for Film/TV Studies
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
**Please post/distribute as is appropriate.**
New online resources have just been developed at the University of Alabama
for students and educators studying film, television and related media:
ScreenChat -- live, interactive, text-based discussions
ScreenBoard -- a system for posting messages and information
What is ScreenChat?
ScreenChat is an environment in which students/educators may exchange views
instantaneously. With either a Web browser or Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
software, users may gather at this virtual location in order to communicate
and network with others.
Potential Uses of ScreenChat?
1. Instantaneous exchange of information.
One ScreenChat has already been held in which a representative from USC
explained how to get into film/TV school and outlined the resources for
study at USC.
2. Group projects.
Students/educators from all over the world can meet here at low or no
cost--sort of like a conference phone call, but without the long distance
charges. For example, the members of a journal's editorial board might
gather once a month to discuss manuscripts. The manuscripts themselves
could even be distributed through ScreenChat.
3. Human "networking."
Discussions on various film/TV topics allow individuals to "meet" others
who have related interests. Students/educators in isolated areas may jack
into the international film/TV community through these discussions.
4. Presentations of works in progress.
Say you're working on a paper or a script, but you're afflicted with
serious writer's block. You could distribute portions of your paper
through ScreenChat and then invite others to discuss it online.
5. Online academic conferences/caucuses.
No matter how arcane the topic, you could present findings here and get
instantaneous feedback.
What is ScreenBoard?
ScreenBoard is a virtual bulletin board. Like a cork board in a hallway,
users may post messages on this "board" in a variety of subject areas:
jobs, pedagogy, history, theory, festivals, production. There's even an
area set aside for ScreenChat in which you may post messages about upcoming
online discussions.
With either a Web browser or special "news reader" software, users may
communicate and network with others by leaving messages or responding to
previously posted messages.
The messages that you post on Screen Board can even contain word processing
or graphics files.
Potential Uses of ScreenBoard?
1. Conferences.
Days or even just hours before a conference, presenters could place their
papers on ScreenBoard so that participants could read them before the
presentations themselves--or could print them out and bring them to the
conference.
Or, conference papers could be distributed after the fact.
2. Group projects, human networking, presentations of works in progress, etc.
ScreenBoard offers possibilities for group projects and networking that are
similar to ScreenChat's, but it is not instantaneous. One posts a message
and then hours or days later someone might respond to it.
Still, ScreenBoard has the advantage over ScreenChat in that the posted
messages are stored for months and may be accessed later. Once a
ScreenChat is over, the information disappears (unless someone takes the
time to archive a transcript of the chat).
The Screen Empire?
ScreenChat and ScreenBoard join two other online resources for film and TV
study:
Screen-L -- an e-mail-based discussion group founded in 1991
ScreenSite -- a Web site founded in 1994
What's the Cost?
Nothing. There is no charge to use any of these services. They are
sponsored by the Department of Telecommunication and Film, the College of
Communication, and the Division of Student Affairs at the University of
Alabama. However, the views expressed through these services do not
necessarily reflect those of the University of Alabama.
