“…As a component of digital learning, interactive learning is not only widely accepted but has long been considered an important focus of the learning arrangements (Xu & Zhai, 2022). At this point, digital learning formats are positively influencing the development of crucial vocal competencies, but they are not enough to build vocal proficiency (Birch, 2017).…”

Development of vocal exercises with visual art and interactive tools might contribute to development of students’ musical skills and enhance learning effectiveness. This paper gets an insight into the effectiveness of the vocal exercises developed with visual art tools and a vocal training app. The survey was conducted among 110 students from a music school in China. Students from small groups B who used MOOC and the developed vocal exercises performed 8.6% better compared to the control group, suggesting the programme’s effectiveness for teaching vocal performance. Group B post-assessment of the special factors showed increased scores on the three assessment criteria after the intervention. This study has practical value and is important for further research because it demonstrates the developed vocal exercises’ effect on musical skills. Research findings may be applied in educational institutions that are interested in finding ways to develop musical skills and improve the effectiveness of vocal training. The results are important for teachers, education officials and everyone interested in the introduction of interactive environments.

“…Jordanous et al (2016) examines the interactions between creative producers on the music social network- SoundCloud, to compare, contrast and assess the value attributed to different members of the electronic music community. Birch (2017) reflects on SoundCloud as a mobile technology that is useful in music education contexts. So far, no study has been done on the use of indigenous media on SoundCloud.…”

Indigenous Media and Social Media Convergence: Adaptation of Storytelling on Twitter, SoundCloud and YouTube in Zimbabwe

Storytelling is ordinarily trivialised as an antiquated oramedia genre, and of less significance in Zimbabwean mainstream media and communication studies, hence it is understudied. Recent studies largely take a literary gaze on storytelling, and do not theorise it from an indigenous media viewpoint or appreciate its convergence with social media. Drawing on concepts of media convergence and the digital public sphere, this netnographic study examines the adaptation of storytelling on Twitter, SoundCloud and YouTube, focusing on patterns of production, delivery, participation, language forms, reception and audiences. The article shows inventive re-embodiment and adaptation of storytelling on online spaces, that is, the endurance and remaking of indigenous media in the context of new media and communication technologies. The manifestation of the folktale narrative style on social media exhibits the rise of a secondary form of orality recreated, reproduced and applied in the digital form and on social media. While digital and social media are perceived as threatening the continued existence of indigenous media, this article attests social media as breathing spaces for indigenous media.
