Before the opening of video uploads on Nov 16, we’re posting ideas and examples of videos about university experience worldwide. Sometimes, simple interviews can make great video projects, especially when you put interviews next to each other. In this series on adjunct faculty in the USA, the Chronicle of Higher Education creates an informative montage about university life.
Why does this work better than the sample videos on Free-D? The Chronicle’s videos are edited by the people who conducted the interviews, not the people who are speaking. Even though the interviewer is not shown, these videos highlight the interests of the interviewer, who asks the questions and edits the final videos to highlight the personality and experience of the person interviewed.
We love how these videos show the background, personality, and motivations of each adjunct professor. We also like that these videos talk about important issues for universities about hiring practices, professor workload, and pay.
This is a photo essay submitted by one of our friends, Pinar Kuzlu, an exchange student who has studied in both the USA and in Turkey. Her slideshow compares experiences in each of the universities where she has studied as an undergraduate. When UniLives.com opens for contributions in November, you can tell your story as well. Like Pinar, you might share examples of how your education affects your lifestyle and how that lifestlye colours your experience of education.
