My name is Kevin Bagosy and I work for Penn State Public Broadcasting in University Park, PA. I was looking at your website and thought you might be interested in this website, Back From Iraq, about a Penn State course aimed specifically to Iraq War veterans, "Narrative, Oral History, New Media Technologies.". This course was designed to teach student veterans how to use video and web technologies in order to chronicle the stories and experiences of the Iraq War. Over the duration of this class students are asked to create a documentary about some aspect of the war. This website features their final movie, their experiences making it, and their feelings on the war.
The website features 4 student veterans. Some of the students turn the camera on themselves, while some feature other veterans. All the students discuss the process of making their video and recount their experiences in Iraq. The course offers a very candid and rare view of the Iraq war. The website also features interviews with the creators of the course discussing the importance of veterans interviewing veterans. The instructors also discuss how the idea for the course came about.
Below is the link for the website. Let me know if you post our link on your website and we could post a link to yours as well. If you have any more questions about the site or anything about Penn State Public Broadcasting let me know. Thanks for your time.
A scientific thought.
