Panel Talk VID48
New Media In and Beyond the Classroom
In this session, we’ll talk about new and existing materials and formats to critically assess media material. We’ll also explore what makes some media and videos effective and others… not so much to engage different audiences. Using practical examples and research, we’ll explore fundamentals and best practices.
Mathew James Constantine

Mathew Constantine works as Director of Projects in IE Publishing at IE Business School. He works closely with professors to research and design innovative interactive case studies and tutorials which form a fundamental part of the MBA and postgraduate programmes of the school. He coordinates an internal production team of project managers, programmers and designers for each project and continuously monitors the development process. He is driven by the continual pursuit of adding real value to e-learning documentation and strives to provide students with original and entertaining resources.
It was only until Mathew had experienced a number of different positions that he realized his professional future would be dedicated to the area of education, and he believes that it is through these very distinct experiences that he draws innovation and originality in his work. He graduated in 2000 from the University of Leicester in BA Business Economics and since this date has worked as a service manager and teacher in a language school, an internal auditor for a leading Spanish constructor (Ferrovial S.A.), and as a web homepage coordinator for the second most visited site in Spain (Repsol YPF).

"We’ve used extreme sports to demonstrate friction, dance festival stage effects to illustrate electromagnetic radiation and the recent solar eclipse for Earth Sciences. In many cases, the videos we’re selecting are the type of quirky clips students might send viral, so they’re fun too – we just had to apply the academic knowledge to bring the two together.”
