Home page for the new Film & Sound Online discussion forum.
Following on from the theme of listening to users in the last issue of Newsline, we are delighted to introduce tools for users to comment on the service and content provided by Film & Sound Online (FSOL).
There are two new features in this service for the new academic year: a Forum and Film Trails are both presented as linked icons on the service home page, and highlighted as being New.
This new feature is being introduced as a supplement to contacting local, institutional or national support, and is envisaged as a peer-to-peer discussion area that also allows users to comment on individual FSOL items.
All users can view the comments posted but registration using an Athens account is necessary to add a comment. IP-only (direct access) users are not presently able to add their views.
We have been soliciting Film Trails for some time via the ‘View or Create Learning Materials’ icon on the service home page.
The first three of these have been completed and are now in service under the new ‘Film Trails’ icon: British Social History, Social Spaces and the Cold War.
We are keen to receive proposals for more trails. Payment of £500 per trail is available. Please follow the instructions for submitting film trails on the Film & Sound website.
Case Studies and Reviews are now also available via the ‘View or Create Learning Materials’ icon on the FSOL Home Page.
There are currently five case studies. Payment of £500 per case study is available. Please follow the instructions for submitting case studies on the Film & Sound website. Reviews are commissioned by EDINA through the HE Academy Subject Centres.
As ever, we welcome your feedback and suggestions for future development.
