The Value of Author Interviews in Education
Inside Look at the Writing Process
During the video interviews, authors reveal their writing process to show students how they take a disorganized first draft and turn it into a finished book.
Students realize that conducting research, incorporating feedback, revising drafts and adhering to deadlines are success skills in any profession.
These revelations can take the pressure off students, help them become more comfortable with the writing process and inspire confidence in their abilities
Encourages Reluctant Readers to Read
Students may feel discouraged from reading when they feel like they have to find the exact right answer from abstract literature.
Our author interviews can help students understand that reading is an interpretive process with no right or wrong answers. It’s about extracting meaning from the text.
This realization can be an empowering experience for students resulting in more interest in the course material and reading overall.
Promotes Open-mindedness & Empathy
Teaching students how to remain open-minded helps them embrace change.
These video interviews allow authors to voice their points of view and enable students to form their own opinions.
After watching the video interview, students can exchange ideas during class discussions or online forums.
The exposure to multiple perspectives shows students how differently people can interpret the same idea.
Through these activities, students learn empathy, an essential skill for social interactions in the business world.
