Modular and Database Cinema
Chytilová, Marie ; Fišerová, Michaela (advisor) ; Řehořová, Irena (referee)
In this thesis, I present modular and database cinema characterized by nonlinear story and complex structure. I give examples of modular and database cinema, provide different approaches regarding movies with nonlinear narrative and mention basic principles of classical cinema to show the difference. I am taking a closer look at these films and doing a comparison. Modular cinema needs an audience which actively participates in giving a meaning to the particular film. This active audience can be equated to the new media user which can be characterized not only as a recipient of new media products but also as a creator, co-author and explorer. That is why I am focusing on new media from the point of their users, showing the changes in this media-user relation and summarizing what is new about new media. Database cinema reflects a database form which became a necessary part of new media as well as of our daily lives. When analyzing characteristics of new media and complex structure cinema I suggest a potential relation between new media and modular and database cinema from the point of their users.
Use of new media in museology
Seyčková, Nina ; Stöcklová, Anna (advisor) ; Šlerka, Josef (referee)
This work connects a practical project, revitalization of Frani Sramka Museum in Sobotka, with available theory. Addressed are three theoretical areas - museum, education and new media. Historically, museums are democratic educational institutions. Currently, museums use mainly principles of non-formal education that displays higher diversity in learning approaches. New media are appropriate means of enrichment and practical application of non-formal education in museums. Museums use new media in diverse ways. This work addresses two uses of new media - technological and conceptual, which stems from the characteristics of new media. The argument of this work is that conceptual new-media approach should be the focus when preparing an exhibition - new-media exhibit is not created purely by incorporation of modern technology. The contribution of this work is a description of a parallel between new media characteristics and functioning of the museum, connection of theory to a practical project and analysis of new-media museum creation , which is up to now unusual in the Czech Republic. Key words: new media; museum; interactivity; non-formal education; Web 2.0

Creation of learning objects for interactive whiteboard in math education
Moravcová, Barbora ; Lapeš, Jakub (advisor) ; Vaňková, Petra (referee)
The aim of the thesis on the topic "Learning objects for interactive whiteboard with a focus on mathematics" is to explore theoretical aspects and principles of interactive teaching using interactive whiteboards in teaching mathematics at middle school. Another goal is to create interactive presentations of various thematic units of mathematics curricula for middle schools, and educational at the same time with the documentation for these presentations. Description of theoretical aspects deals with of both the very notion of interactivity and learning object concepts and interactive whiteboard. The bachelor thesis emphasized the need to take care when using the interactive whiteboard teaching traditional didactic principles and these principles are explained in relation to interactive learning. The practical part is dedicated to creating learning objects in the environment of the program GeoGebra and the program SMART Notebook for creating presentations. Result of this work is eight presentations created for the second and third year of middle school to take full advantage of the opportunities the program offers.
Comparison of popular didactic weekly magazine for youth (Mladý hlasatel thirties/forties Vpřed forties/fifties)
Meravá, Tereza ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Suk, Pavel (referee)
Master's thesis "Comparison of popularly educational weekly youth magazines Mladý Hlasatel and Vpřed in 1930s through 1950s" contrasts two youth titles that were published around the WWII. Both titles, connected not only through the editor and father-like figure Jaroslav Foglar, were immensely popular in their time and constitute the phenomenon of journalism for children of that era. Both magazines were published during uneasy times, firstly during the dawn of the war and during the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia; secondly, after ten years, during the rise of communists' influence and subsequent Communist coup d'état in 1948. This master's thesis follows my bachelor thesis "Mladý Hlasatel and it's authors" describing history, authors and specifics of this magazine. Master's thesis adds comparably detailed information about the magazine Vpřed, but its main objective is to compare the titles published in "free" era before the WWII and after it, and the ones that were published during the limited freedom of the press during the war and after the year 1948. This work seeks not only to compare the content, authors and information in both magazines, but also to comprehend the contemporary context of that era, observe the impact of ideological and political influences, as well as describe different...
Controlled Freedom of Choice: Interaction in New Media
Jakubčáninová, Eva ; Brejcha, Jan (advisor) ; Slavíček, Daniel (referee)
This diploma thesis concerns topic of control within interactivity in the new media. It deals with concept of interactivity from the perspective of the new media and semiotics. Later on it presents insight on different mechanisms and levels of control, which are present within the interactivity. The thesis is focused only on those mechanisms that are aimed at a user. These concern for example dataveillance, data-based discrimination, disciplination, tailoring, monitoring or persuasive games. This line is extended and connected with the contributions of Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault and Vilém Flusser, who dealt with topics such as power, discipline and apparatuses. The aim of this thesis is to find out, what is the position of a user in relation to the mechanisms of control and what are her/his possibilities of action against these mechanisms (if any). Keywords: interactivity, new media, control, surveillance, semiotics, user, data, apparatus
Educational Simulation in Task Situations (A survey focusing on the aspects of acceptance, interactivity, and authenticity)
Hannemann, Tereza ; Krykorková, Hana (advisor) ; Pinkas, Jaroslav (referee) ; Páchová, Anna (referee)
The dissertation 'Educational Simulation in Task Situations' is focused on a new medium - educational simulation, which is starting to establish itself in the field of education. This work is examining educational simulations from three different points of view: 1) the acceptance of educational simulations in the school environment, 2) the interactivity of learning material, and 3) the authenticity of learning material. The experimental results are divided into three separate chapters according to the respective viewpoint. The investigation focused on acceptance in the first chapter draws from the evaluation of 34 Czech teachers and more than 1000 students, who both evaluated the benefits and shortcomings of particular educational simulations that were used by the teachers and their students. The experiment on interactivity (N = 152) in the second chapter is focused on the experimental comparison of learning material with activated interactive features and learning material with deactivated features. The third experiment on authenticity (N = 48) compares teaching material using authentic media sequences and the same material converted into an animated form. All three main chapters contain a theoretical review of the respective topic and our own experimental research. The methodology is based on the...
