Abstract:
The teaching of journalism should consider the new professional contexts, where media convergence requires the editors to work following a collaboratively and integrated approach. The Integrated Journalism Workshop aims at responding to these needs by creating a simulated professional environment of an integrated editorial where students work in coordinated groups. This paper presents an extension of the LdShake platform to support the methodological needs of the workshop. The evaluation of the initial implementation of the platform provides a set of preliminary results that shows the platform is useful for the targeted purposes, improving the approach previously used in the course.
