Digital support to Mobilities, international business and global mining capitalism (19-20th cent.) project
Digital support to Mobilities, international business and global mining capitalism (19-20th cent.) project
The MobiLab provided digital support to the project Mobilities, international business and global mining capitalism (19-20th centuries), managed by our MoHu member Marco Bertilorenzi. The project explores the mobility of French mining engineers during the 19th and 20th century. It would like to explore the nexus between the mobility of high skilled workers, like mining engineers, and the mobility of capitals, linking the movements of people to the ones of investments and multinational firms. The project is based on a large database of engineers (about 3000), the mobility of whom was tracked in several benchmarks and georeferenced/mapped through ArcGIS Online software. Marco Orlandi provided assistance in adapting the database to ArcGIS Online and in setting new visual settings with maps.
Active learning goes mobile - 2021
Active learning goes mobile:Video-making as a mobile methodology
Late in 2021, MobiLab supported a very innovative pedagogic activity merging mobilities studies and video-making. The training was offered to DiSSGeA’s students from the Mobility Studies and the Local Development Master programmes and had great success! The activity has been developed with film-maker Giovanna Volpi in collaboration with Nova Didaxis 3.0 project. During three sessions, students have had the opportunity to learn the principles of screenwriting and shooting with a smartphone. Moving from theory to practice, they have also worked in group to produce multifarious clips. A truly student-centred activity, students have then suggested how to edit the materials they produced. As a result, a few collaborative videos have been produced. Playing in different manners with the same clips, each video is about talking, embodying, and emplacing mobility from diverse points of view. Watch them on MoHu Mediaspace.
