PeaceTalk Video Corpus pt. 3 (Protection of Civilians online course)

Description

PeaceTalk Video Corpus pt. 3 is part of a broader video corpus of talk and interaction collected in various crisis management exercises that simulate real-life conflicts. The language used in the courses is English as a lingua franca. The instructors and trainees come from all around the world. The research method used in PeaceTalk is ethnomethodologically informed conversation analysis (CA). The project describes efficient interactional practices and challenges in crisis communication. It focuses on how talk and interaction contribute to situation awareness, information flow and team work. The project collaborates with key organizers of crisis management training (Finnish Defence Forces International Center and Crisis Management Finland). The results will be used to inform crisis management training. This corpus consists of screen and audio recorded materials from a crisis management course organized in an online environment in 2021. The data total approximately 90 hours of recordings from synchronous (Zoom) sessions of a group of learners (18) and their small-group activities, and it is complemented with other materials, such as screen captures, saved chat discussions, course documents (e.g., task and scenario descriptions and instructions), observations from the instructors’ meetings and ethnographic fieldnotes. The participants in the course come from different geographical locations, and they have diverse areas of expertise. The recordings were carried out in two locations in Finland. The data are used to study the interactional and collaborative practices of the trainees in an online setting, focusing on the ways in which task-related goals are achieved and participation enhanced. The research contributes to a better understanding of the social ecology of technology-mediated interaction, the interactional competences needed to manage these situations, and the varying resources that come into play when coordinating mutual activities in distributed learning environments.
