Media
Collections that contain subjective content about experiences and careers in education.
The Media section contains content that highlights personal experiences within the education sector. Unlike the knowledge base collections, which focus on objective information, media collections provide stories, interviews, and conversations that help users better understand what it is like to work in education.
These collections power content formats such as:
-
Video interviews
-
Personal stories and testimonials
-
Podcast shows and episodes
-
Profiles of professionals in education
Media collections often combine narrative content with taxonomy relations (filters) such as roles, sectors, audiences, and topics. This allows media content to appear alongside informational content throughout the platform.
The following collections make up the Media section.
