- 5. • In order not to copy the traditional classroom mode directly into a different context – online pedagogy, we need to deploy technology and to deploy technology, we will need money. • The solution is the balance. Pedagogy should be the negotiating partner between financial and technological issues. • Pedagogy should dictate the right amount of cost/technology to be used. • And its important not to forget that technology should not be used to fill the gap of appropriate pedagogy. The Balance
- 7. Pedagogy vs Technology (cont.)
- 8. Specifics for multilingual context • Creation and post-production pointers • Sustainability includes editing costs • The translation editing continuum • Language vs cultural translation • Conclusions
- 9. Specifics for multilingual context • The total is the sum of the parts – each component is important and how they are combined in the whole even more so ie editing • Background colour – legible subtitles • Speaker • Audio • Sustainability – translation editing as added cost
- 10. Post production techniques Varying levels of on-screen “teacher presence” with images and text
- 11. Post production + subtitles One clear finding is that drop-out/non-completion rates are substantially higher than in more traditional education” (Clow 2013)
- 12. Translation editing continuum Machine Error correction N.S. Style
- 13. Editing – classic challenges + errors 1. Transcription – names, complex/specialist terms “heuristico” “patrimonio” “patròn relleno” 2. Translation – word order Inizialmente vengono acquistati e recuperati due palazzi ottocenteschi in rovina 3. Punctuation
- 14. Editing – continued 4. Redundancy 5. Sentence length

Sentence and segment length Cultural heritage Quante volte ti è capitato di andare ad un teatro e di non potere vedere le sale che magari ti hanno spinto a visitare questo teatro per carenza di personale. Tante altre volte ci capita di dovere fare una lunghissima fila ad un cinema o un museo perche la struttura non è attrezzato per farci acquistare via web il biglietto Social Pedagogy

Translating culture Cultural heritage Quante volte ti è capitato di andare ad un teatro e di non potere vedere le sale che magari ti hanno spinto a visitare questo teatro per carenza di personale. Tante altre volte ci capita di dovere fare una lunghissima fila ad un cinema o un museo perche la struttura non è attrezzato per farci acquistare via web il biglietto Social Pedagogy faccio l'esempio del lavoro che si fa attraverso un procedimento complesso come quello della grounded theory, che in realtà organizza una serie di dati, mettendoli in relazione tra loro e quindi focalizzandosi sulle relazioni, relazioni che possono poi essere costruite in termini di relazioni di relazioni tra costrutti interpretativi che noi utilizziamo per esplorare questi dati per relazioni, che individuavamo tra i fenomeni che abbiamo osservato
- 17. Final remarks The Changing Value of Knowledge – Cristobal Cobo It would appear that we can translate the container through multilingual interface and signposting language It would appear that, thanks to UPV and with a certain amount of effort, we can translate the content of our MOOCs - even the assignments and conversation forums The question remains as to whether we can translate the context of learning – whether learning and teaching styles are really translatable and whether a pan-European audience is interested in the cross-cultural, multi-disciplinary learning opportunities offered by Automated translation systems
