This study explores the pedagogical impact of a student-led teaching strategy in veterinary education, centered on the implementation of a monitored question-and-answer (Q&A) game integrated with multimedia content. Conducted in a classroom setting, the intervention encouraged students to actively formulate and pose questions to their peers—questions that could potentially appear on future assessments. The sessions were recorded and transformed into multimedia resources, enabling content review beyond the classroom. Results indicate a high student participation during practical activities (89.33%), as well as enhanced engagement with course material outside scheduled sessions. Students’ perceptions were collected in a survey (Cronbach’s alpha 0.920), revealing that more than sixty percent of answers fostered collaborative learning and anatomy assessments preparation. Moreover, fifty percent of students affirmed that the activity enhanced their participation and motivation and stimulated peer-to-peer interaction. These results could suggest that gamified student-led questioning combined with digital content creation can effectively support active learning and deeper understanding in veterinary anatomy education....
The rise of digital technologies has profoundly transformed sports practices in Senegal, influencing both sports culture and community participation. This study adopts a socio-historical approach to analyze the impact of digital media on these dynamics by exploring the social, cultural, and economic changes brought about by this transformation. Specifically, the study highlights the role of online platforms, social media, and mobile applications in promoting sports and creating new virtual communities. It also examines the interaction between Senegalese culture and new forms of sports communication, emphasizing both the challenges and opportunities for preserving local sports traditions. By analyzing the evolution of both traditional and emerging sports through a digital lens, this study sheds light on how the internet is reshaping sports practices and economic models in Senegal, contributing to a deeper understanding of the impact of digital technologies on the country’s social and cultural dynamics in the sporting world....
This study aims to examine transformations in television based on how its intersections with digital media destabilise one of the main distinguishing features of television genres: direct broadcasting. Does temporal simultaneity, which historically acted as a strategy for authenticating the effects of presence and present time in television mediations, still hold in the face of the new spectatorial experience interconnected with digital networks? To answer this question, this paper proposes that the complex temporal dynamics of digital networks, based on the idea of connectivity and algorithmic logic, alters our experience of television time, no longer recognised only by simultaneous action, but also by the action of multiple presences continually updated through comments, reactions, memes, reposts, edits, etc. This study’s provocative arguments begin with the literature on the relationship between direct broadcasting and present time in the constitution of television genres, highlighting their distinctions when considering television interface with digital networks. The proposed approach is based on the conceptual articulation between the notions of connectivity and networked audiovisual as a means of understanding the effects of presence and present time in the television experience within a digital context....
With support from European funding, a digital picture book library was developed to assist families with limited access to age-appropriate books in a familiar language. This study examines how a multilingual group of families engaged with the library. Specifically, it investigates the frequency of visits, the range of titles accessed, the extent of rereading, the navigational strategies used to support comprehension, and the languages chosen during reading. Log data were collected over approximately four months in two kindergarten groups (28 users) and one childcare center serving 3-year-old children (48 users). About one-third of participants read at least one complete book, although most did so only once or a few times. Among families who used the library more consistently, all titles were accessed, and many were reread. Some users showed remarkable navigation patterns: they repeatedly revisited early scenes, suggesting a self-guided strategy for building familiarity before progressing through the story. Despite the multilingual backgrounds of the families, books were read predominantly in the societal language. Overall, the findings suggest that the digital library is appealing to families and, when implemented on a broader scale, has the potential to support the language development of a substantial number of children....
In today’s digital world where presence is often equated with personal visibility, the choice of Emirati women to remain faceless on social media presents a powerful counter narrative— one that reveals the complexities of identity, modesty and belonging in a hyperconnected multicultural society. This study takes a closer look at how these women manage their online identities by intentionally choosing not to show their faces on Instagram. Using digital ethnography and thematic analysis, this article explores how they navigate the balance between global expectations of self-expression and the traditional values of modesty and honor. Over a three-month period, the study observes their activity on Instagram, analyzing shared images to see how facelessness becomes a form of agency. The findings highlight the tension between Western-centric paradigms of identity and selfhood, proposing digital veiling as a transferable framework for understanding how modesty, discretion and agency are negotiated across digital cultures. This article contributes to the broader conversation on digital identity, gendered representation and intercultural negotiation by foregrounding the silent yet strategic practices of women who remain unseen but not unheard....
