Obviously, I expect to spend years producing supplementary materials for colleagues, so that there's plenty more rubbish to chuck out.

When I worked on a British Council, British Studies program in Debrecen, Hungary, after discovering that there was no job for me in Eastern Europe after being trained by the local government in England to teach English to students of other languages, I was paid 30, 000 HUF a month = 100 GBP, while those paid by the B.C. received 500, 000 HUF a month plus...

My advice is settle for nohing less than what you've expected.

There is no advantage to it. Unless you're prepared to be individualistic, you're just a sponger abroad until they reel you in again, and ask you to do some revision/retraining so that they can put you on the hook and fish a bit longer with their worm in the water where the rest of the universe can swim.

Forget it. Look for employment abroad. I studied at College for a Business Diploma, and following that a B.A., and after that a PhD in English, and the local government's advice was to accept a job from the back of a van delivering private letters to addresses in the city where I studied. When I gave that up as a bad job, they sent a letter offering training...

I found it useful in organizing my thoughts on the subject, thank you.

I had some experience contacting Universities but the main rub is, "Come and talk to us." That's what they expect from students, which is why the agent market has grown. Students want someone else to do their talking for them.
-
Robin Bright made a comment
I don't really think they're valid questions. Dramatic but not pertinent. How many students do you have for us? That's a better question.

Useful to know if you're an agent for a medical student.

With Oxbridge they select you, you don't select them, and students need to be aware of that to avoid disappointment.

It's nothing to worry about. The Unis are generally savvy, and their objective is to see you through to your degree.

Brittannia Consular Services are very good on Star street in London for Middle East visas out of the UK for teachers, although some might find costs high because of the need to take a medical in Harley street at the behest of companies recruiting procedures.

Universities want to be cashed up, and agents too. Ethically, students shouldn't be short changed.
-
Robin Bright made a comment
Islam is much different culturally, and agents who aren't Muslim need to recognize this and do their homework.
-
Robin Bright made a comment
Institutions want to be cashed up with a safe bet for course completion, so they continue to be cashed up for the duration of the program. Student's want a pleasant stay. Agents have to accept that and work towards satisfaction for both parties.

I think it's of more validity who determines whether or not the quality assurance or governance and/or student satisfaction and employment rates are what people want.
-
Robin Bright made a comment
Accreditation largely depends on who believes the accreditor's validity. I know people who have degrees from the UK that aren't accreditable in Europe and so have no value.

Student satisfaction is most important, because it suggests you might keep your library before the Fahrenheit 451 boys arrive to get rid of it and you if you remain satisfied.

Robin Bright made a comment
Quality Assurance is most important for those who want to know that they've achieved something. However, in Hungary, they just measure the size of the skulls.

"Global Citizens" is a useful term for people who are unofficially incarcerated in order to get as much inventiveness out of them as possible before they die, rather than have them executed as "too brainy by 'alf", which might require some explanation to the general public.

Why don't they have armed security like they do in the supermarkets in Budapest, for example, so that we're under no illusions about the role and function of intelligent people.

Homosexuality made democracy an impossibility at least as long ago as Greece's Homer who wrote of the Trojan war (760-10 B.C.) during a period when the Greeks institutionalized the host womb slavery of women for the production of soldiers in pederasty. As the species of women is more prolific, that is, a futa woman alone in a room with 100 women will produce...
-
Robin Bright made a comment
The subject being debated is species' slavery, rather than marriage. Women are a single independent species, which means that their objective as a race is to avoid ring slavery. In Japan, for example, futanarian women are celebrated for their hermaphroditism in Hentai 'futanari' Manga cartoons, featuring women with vagina and penis having sex with women with...

I think pop music and the videos made to promote them could benefit from a transmedia approach.

So Al Qaeda watched the 1976 King Kong movie about a giant ape swatting away planes attacking him atop the World Trade Center and developed a transmedia story based on the idea that he`d be there waiting for them when they arrived.

Actually, Levy-Bruhl observed that the collective consciousness experienced what he called participation mystique, a kind of hypnotic trance in which the participants lived in a more or less unconscious dream state lacking in individuality.

It`s quite true that transmedia storytelling has been with us at least since the ancient Greeks. The labors of Hercules for example relate how he subjugated a many headed female monster, the Hydra, to force the Danaid women to marry men otherwise they wouldn`t have because they were women with their own p**s semen, which is what the multi-narrative overlay of...

Prosumers are pro-consumers, so far as I can understand. Cultural convergence might be construed as the perception that consumption is what humans are for, which of course unifies the plot somewhat.
-
Robin Bright made a comment
How characters behave is storytelling, but real people only want to achieve their objectives. Consequently, `games` that ignore emotional motivational behavioral personality psychology are preferable to the goal-oriented, who`re only interested in how something is to be achieved, rather than sociability.
-
Robin Bright made a comment
What`s important is the visual presentation of a character’s psychology and actions. No one cares about the personality. Thy want workable models of achievement.

Transmedia prosumes too much methinks. The 1976 movie Logan`s Run based on William F. Nolan`s 1967 scifi novel was about people being killed before they reached the age of 21, which suggests that the civil airliners hijacked at Logan airport and crashed into the WTC on 9/11, 2001, was an attempt by `transmedia` Al Qaeda to stillbirth the 21st century
-
Robin Bright made a comment
So the Twin Towers were a part of the World Trade Center movie storyline, and Al Qaeda were script writers? And the transmedia film, which also partook of King Kong and The Towering Inferno (1973), as inspirational material, was enjoyable irrespective of whether or not it was `PC` translatable.

The key to understanding all of this Greek `clap` trap is to ask the question: where`s the woman`s p**s?

The point of the story is that its hearers didn`t care, because it wasn`t an interesting narrative.

Like monkeys on top of buildings. It falls off, and eventually it isn`t there, that is, the renewers lose the plot. As with King Kong (1933) atop the Empire State Building, a film remade in 1976 atop the World Trade Center in New York, before the World Trade Center `blockbuster` movie of 2006, and of course after the remake of the 1976 King Kong movie in 2005...

Old media forms are simply clearer in terms of their message, whereas transmedia is a part of the `gay` program wherein `trans` is used to indicate unimportance in terms of gender or sexual function, which is dangerous in an AIDS environment where clarity of message is paramount..

No, I believe original cogent content far outweighs the annotative commentator.

Obfuscation can`t hide the truth. Greek society was based on homosexuality in pederasty for war through the enslavement of women`s human host wombs. As modern 21st century computer `geeks` illustrated, with their `bad machine code` Trojan viruses, the huge hollow wooden horse, that is, the `Trojan horse`, which the Greeks used, according to the poet, Homer, in...

I think digital storytelling is confusion. Students, or simply readers, can spend an age being `educated` and discover that they could have gleaned as much information from a handout in a seminar from a University Professor. In my opinion it`s a time waster, because that`s what it`s designed for by the marketers and advertisers outside of media concern with...

Media and advertisers have different aims. Advertisers want a range of products for consumer enticement and media producers want a broad spectrum of viewers for a large audience.

Transmedia is what rock bands do, isn`t it? They communicate with each other and their fans through cross referencing in lyrics and visuals.
