proliferated through the use of different modes and models of exchange and
interchange, built on the foundations of social action, cultural communications
and interactivity (Blogs, YouTube, Flickr, Current.tv and so on). Internet
networks make it possible for very different communities to be built and
maintained over geographically dispersed areas. As a result ecologies or
environments are built to sustain both the exchange and the relationships that
grow from the networks. In networked peer-to-peer communications, relationships
between people are defined by the time of connection and not only by
expectations about content and interaction. Some of the central characteristics
of social networking are:</SPAN></FONT></P>

to the Internet through available interfaces. Networked communities are
constantly involved in customizing the interfaces that they use and in designing
the way that they can navigate through various Internet configurations. This is
closely related to the ways in which the open source movement works (e.g.,
Linux).</SPAN></FONT></P>

collaborate and this is as important as the sharing of information and files.
Collaboration is about community building, but also about developing projects
and creating awareness. Artists are using social networks to pursue a variety of
different initiatives. The anti-globalization movement has used social networks
to develop its own news channels. Health organizations are using social networks
to facilitate learning and education in rural and less developed areas of the
world.</SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri">The rapid and relentless changes
taking place in internet and digital media are described as democratising
processes, providing far greater access to public media contexts. This is
evidenced through emerging forms of dialogue - including blogs, and pod/vod
casting as 'user-generated' content. As well as this greater access to public
communication forums, the parallel availability of affordable softwares to
produce media content continues to rapidly accelerate. In this convergent
media environment, the role of the communication designer is significantly
challenged to embrace a much deeper engagement and collaboration with social and
cultural contexts. Designers have new opportunities to explore different roles -
as cultural activist, as problem finder, as facilitator, and strategic planner
and collaborator. This presentation suggests some of the ways in which
communication design can build collaborations around both research and teaching.
The current design collaboration with CCR around the Digital Cultural Atlas
(DCA) is discussed, involving the use of an auto-ethnographic research method
with an undergraduate teaching project.</SPAN></FONT></P>
