Bi/multilingualfolder
1) The bi/multilingual folder is a publishing genre which is specified and
developed to expressly account for the problems of distributing a monolingual
audiovisual recording in a knowledge market which is intrinsically multilingual.
2) The bi/multilingual folder offers different versions (reasonably faithful or, on
the contrary, abridged, approximate, adapted, simplified, etc.) of an audiovisual
recording (created in a given language) in one or more target language(s).
3) This publishing genre was tested by
ESCoM*
for the
ARA program*
as part
of several French and European R&D projects (in particular see
SAPHIR*
. There is
now a whole series of bilingual folders (French/Spanish; French/English;
French/Russian; French/Arabic; etc.) which can be consulted either on the
ARA
portal*
site or on thematically delimited portals.
Educationalfolder
1) The educational folder is a specific genre of publication which uses/reuses
audiovisual recordings (processed or not, analyzed or not) to create educational
resources (per se) for either formal or informal education.
2) As a general rule, the educational folder is organized around a series of
chapters where each chapter is supposed to represent a phase in the acquisition and
appropriation of a certain type of knowledge or know-how. Each chapter contains
audiovisual material and a collection of additional information which is useful to the
learner or the teacher. The folder itself comprises guides for teachers and learners as
well as suggestions of how to test and assess knowledge acquisition.
3) This genre of publication was tested by
ESCoM*
for the
ARA program*

educational folders covering a variety of topics and which may be consulted on the
ARAportal*
site.
Thematicfolder
1) The thematic folder, as its name suggests, brings together different
audiovisual contributions on a
subject*
. Depending on the explicit objectives of
communication, the thematic folder may take different forms: a folder which recaps
a question, a folder which sparks a debate, a folder about a controversial issue, an
awareness-raising folder, etc.
