A panel discussion with seven contestants from a popular Chinese TV dating show.

The Chinese TV dating show If You Are The One has become a global cultural phenomenon. With a viewing audience of up to 50 million people per episode, it has received a cult following in Australia thanks to regular screenings on SBS2.

What’s behind the show’s popularity? Is this what dating is like in today’s China? And are the contestants looking for love, fame or both?

Seven contestants from the recently aired Australian specials discuss their experiences.

Annie Shu, David Zhang, Feng Guo and Linda Li joined SBS’s Dr Jing Han, who in the course of translating over 150 episodes has become one of Australia’s foremost experts on If You Are The One.

Hosted by Claudia Chan Shaw, designer, director and festival curator.

The past decade has solidified and advanced two important tracks in helping researchers understand learning: neuroscience and big data. Sophisticated imaging techniques allow insight into the functioning of the human brain that was until recently unimaginable. Small controlled studies are laying a foundation for a new science of learning.

In contrast, big data, often generated in technological environments, presents researchers with fuzzier and messier data than what is common in neuroscience. The large N, however, offers tantalising insights into the social, affective, and meta-cognitive aspects of learning as it happens in authentic work and school settings.

In this presentation Professor George Siemens (Director of the LINK Research Lab at the University of Texas, Arlington) explores the methodological differences that underpin the neuroscience and big data (learning analytics) frameworks of learning research and suggest ways in which they might contribute to future educational models.

Professor Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard Professor in the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University

In public health terms soft-drinks, called soda in the US, are low-hanging fruit. Containing little more than sugars and water, and increasing linked to obesity and other health problems, they are an easy target for health advocacy. In the US sodas have enabled their makers, primarily Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, to become multibillion dollar, international industries.

Health advocates, however, have found many ways to counter the relentless marketing and political pressures. As a result, soda sales are falling, at least in the United States and Mexico. Lessons learned from soda advocacy are applicable to advocacy for additional aspects of the movement toward healthier and more sustainable food systems.
