The Jesuit Channel
The Jesuit Channel features video/audio files of lectures, speeches, interviews, and discussions that address issues related to the mission of Jesuit higher education. The Channel uses the power of technology to make these educational forums come alive through audio-visual effects. It is a place where Jesuit institutions can share innovative and important ideas and present information, much of it academic in nature, in a fresh format. The Jesuit Channel is now available on YouTube: www.youtube.com/jesuitchannel.
The Jesuit Channel's focus is on topics related to Jesuit pedagogy, its history, and the many traditions and values that constitute Jesuit higher education in all of its simplicity and complexity. The content of the videos or downloads that are submitted by colleges and universities for the Jesuit Channel, which was launched by AJCU in October 2007, must be relevant to the area of Jesuit higher education.
The following video categories are covered on the Jesuit Channel:
- Groundbreaking academic achievement; research
- Mission and identity issues
- Community service, engagement
- Leadership development
- Social Justice
- International engagement, globalization
One of the advantages of the Channel is to connect with other Jesuit educational networks around the world to encourage dialogue on international affairs and issues relating to globalization. Currently, all content is in English, but there is a possibility that as the Channel grows and develops, other languages will be represented.
