We argue that students learn through employment of multiple senses. When concepts are complex, understanding can be greatly enhanced if theory is ‘explained’ in conjunction with case studies, examples and experience. Ethnographic storying, especially the use of photographic, and video media are examples of sensory ethnography. With the development of social media, such as You Tube and Flicker,
one can create, at minimal expense short clips that have the potential to be employed as educational tools that facilitate comprehension of, often complex theory
and theoretical practices.

This paper provides a series of Flicker clips that have been developed and applied in WINTEC’s graduate event management papers. The focus of these clips has been
on Event Management Logistics: having the ‘right’ thing, in the ‘right’ place, at the ‘right’ time, to ensure positive/satisfactory consumer experience. We will discuss how we collected, edited, and compiled these clips. We will also share the students’ responses/reactions to these clips and their perceptions as to whether our stated intention: to facilitate comprehension of, often complex theory and theoretical practices has been achieved.
