The podcast of the Times Higher Education supplement appears as a weekly issue review, and also appears more irregularly in the form of one-off interviews with academics and authors, or discussions concerning a particular aspect of higher education. Examples include a look at education in Palestine, use of social media, and a discussion about university business models and the threats, or opportunities presented by massive open online courses (MOOCS).

This streaming site offers a wide selection of films curated by a team of experts, with a particular emphasis on world cinema, lost classics and important but difficult to find films. The films themselves are not currently available in the United Kingdom due to licensing restrictions, but its online film journal Keyframe contains an interesting selection of content, presenting a mixture of articles, interviews, reviews, festival information and video essays on aspects of film history and theory. Two examples from the video essay selection give a sense of the site’s ambitions to provide contextual material to go with the films: a look the 1965 film Four in the Morning, featuring a young Judi Dench, and an analysis of how Carl Th. Dreyer’s created a cinematic uncanny in his 1932 film ‘Vampyr’.

This resource, which is primarily intended for secondary school students, presents sixty second summaries and analyses of works of classic literature and drama. The site is the brainchild of Peter Osterlund, a former journalist and Hollywood screenwriter, who based the one minute concept on the idea that attention spans for small-screen video tend to lapse after around 60 seconds. All of the videos are presented by critic Jenny Sawyer, who also researched and wrote the content, which gives the site a unified and purposeful feel. Each literary work - including Crime and Punishment, Hamlet, and The Catcher in the Rye - consists of an ‘album’ of around ten 60 second videos on a different aspect of the work, including plot, characters, themes and symbols. The website currently has around 625 videos, covering 42 classic literary works, as well as a blog which reviews contemporary books of potential interest to teenagers and a space called Club Recap where users of the site can post their own 60 second recaps. Although the site has been criticised for its somewhat breathless approach, its real potential lies in its use as a starting point for further discussion as well as encouraging students to think in a focused way. It helps that the videos are creative, communicative and funny but remain grounded in Sawyer’s knowledge and a serious understanding of the texts themselves.

A useful website on all aspects of Polish culture both contemporary and historical. Articles and reviews cover literature, film, music, visual arts and theatre. This piece on Polish Cinema of the Silent Era gives an overview of early film practitioners in Poland; another piece considers the mind-boggling difficulties and the human cost of translating Finnegans Wake into Polish, one of only ten languages to have its own version of Joyce’s magnum opus.
