Including coverage on a wide variety of topics such as linguistic analysis, gender communication, and mass surveillance, this book is an important resource for researchers, academics, graduate students, and professionals seeking current research on best ways to globally expand multimedia research and imagery.

Online survey research suites offer a vast array of capabilities, supporting the presentation of virtually every type of digital data - text, imagery, audio, video, and multimedia forms. With some researcher sophistication, these online survey research suites can enable a wide range of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research. Online Survey Design and Data Analytics: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a critical scholarly resource that explores the utilization of online platforms for setting up surveys to achieve a specific result, eliciting data in in-depth ways and applying creative analytics methods to online survey data. Highlighting topics such as coding, education-based analysis, and online Delphi studies, this publication is ideal for researchers, professionals, academicians, data analysts, IT consultants, and students.

Researchers have harnessed the flood of personal information and opinions shared on social media platforms in a variety of ways. People communicate not only what they imagine they are purposely sharing but also unintentionally leak information, which allows others to glimpse a sense of the subconscious and unconscious at a macro level. Electronic Hive Minds on Social Media: Emerging Research and Opportunities explores various research techniques to profile the electronic hive mind around social topics as expressed on various modalities of social media, from human, bot, and cyborg social media accounts, and proposes new research methods for harnessing public data from social media platforms. Highlighting topics such as knowledge sharing, swarm intelligence, and social psychology, this publication is designed for researchers, social psychologists, practitioners, and students in marketing, communications, mass media, and similar fields.

As technological influences and advancements change the format and availability of online learning, instructional design is forced to adapt and accommodate to these changes by exploring different approaches to form, function, and style. These changes are noticeable in the characteristics of instructional design and are made with the intention of promoting the betterment of students' educational experiences. Form, Function, and Style in Instructional Design: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential research book that explores attributes of instructional design in various real-world projects and how it is applied to learning contexts, technological contexts, visualization design, character design, and more. Highlighting topics such as affective learning, learning efficacy, and curriculum design, this book is ideal for educators, administrators, instructional designers, curriculum developers, software developers, instructors, academicians, and students.

Since the early days of formalized large-scale testing, there have been efforts to understand learners in order to provide better aligned learning opportunities and accommodations. What has been less explored has been how prospective and current target learners are profiled as target groups to adapt the learning to them, both statically (such as in pre-learning biographical profiling) and dynamically (on-the-fly as they interact with learning contents in online learning systems). This work takes more of a micro-scale and meso-scale approach, and these often involve both formal and informal means and creative teaching-and-learning accommodations. Profiling Target Learners for the Development of Effective Learning Strategies: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a critical scholarly resource that focuses on the practice of profiling prospective and current target learners through manual and computational means in order to better meet and improve their online and offline learning needs, as well as how those profiles influence the design, development, and provision of learning experiences. Featuring a wide range of topics such as diversity, curriculum design, and online learning, this book is ideal for educators, curriculum developers, instructional designers, principals, educational software developers, administrators, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and students.

In mainstream media, there has been wide discussion on what the world will look like when the artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics incursions into traditional human work result in fewer jobs in manufacturing, service industries, and other domains. Turning to automation is a practical endeavor for corporations because of the efficiencies and increased performance it fosters, but these changes have a major impact on humanity. The resulting lack of work has been linked to social ills and human failure to thrive. Maintaining Social Well-Being and Meaningful Work in a Highly Automated Job Market is a pivotal reference source that explores how the world will re-shape as one with less demand for human labor and how to potentially balance how people engage as part-workers and as consumers of others' creations. Additionally, the book looks at how people will co-create meaningful lives at micro, meso, and macro levels. While highlighting topics such as mobile technology, positive psychological capital, and human capital, this book is ideally designed for technologists, AI designers, robotics designers, policymakers, social engineers, CIOs, politicians, executives, economists, researchers, and students.

Educational practices have seen a wide array of technological advancements in recent years. As learning methods making the transition to online and virtual settings, instructors are required to develop teaching plans that conform to the new era of e-learning. Designing, developing, and deploying these new instructional plans remain a challenge for educators due to a lack of research and knowledge in graphic design techniques. Visual Approaches to Instructional Design, Development, and Deployment is a collection of innovative research on visual-forward approaches to instructional design and applications of visual planning methods in creating effective learning environments. This book focuses on the advancement of online learning techniques using visual design technologies. While highlighting topics including image curation, visual planning, and textual thinking, this book is ideal for instructional designers, researchers, practitioners, instructors, developers, administrators, graphic artists, academicians, and students seeking current research on advancements in instructional design through the use of visual thinking strategies.

Adult learning ability is by and large considered a "e;net good"e; and is established through extra resources, the cultivation of experiences, and services like tutoring and test-taking. However, even with the proliferation of such tools, there is no single solution that can address the needs of a broad population of students. To address each learner's individual needs, educators must equip themselves with as many methods as they can to ensure learners' success. Building and Maintaining Adult Learning Advantage is an essential publication that covers the varied facets of adult learning as well as how to keep learners on the cutting edge of their education. While covering a broad range of topics including collaborative learning, development motivation, and learning advantage constraints, this book introduces new, innovative strategies and methods for creating adult learner advantage.
