Welcome to shortED – the site for short explainer videos by students.

Do you have an idea for a short explainer video from your area of study? Then submit your idea to us.

The New Media Center is inviting all students at the University of Basel to submit ideas from their academic field for three-minute explainer videos. We will select the best proposals at regular intervals and turn them into video shorts – with you in front of the camera, if you'd like. We can't promise fame or fortune, but we can promise plenty of recognition: you will be credited in the video and can share it anywhere.

So if you're a student at the University of Basel and have an idea from your area of study for an explainer video, then sign up via this form. You might soon be standing in our studio – and together we'll turn your idea into reality!
