001
00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.000
FERI, or in other words, the
Faculty of engineering and computer sciences,

002
00:00:05.000-->00:00:09.800
is part of the University in Maribor
and is located in Slovenia's 2nd largest city,

003
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:10.500
Maribor.

004
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:16.200
It is alma mater to hundreds of students
and offers a variety of different study programs - 

005
00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:20.900
for example Electrical engineering,
Computer and information sciences,

006
00:00:20.900 --> 00:00:25.700
Information sciences and communication
technolgies, Telecomunications, Mechatronics,

007
00:00:25.700 --> 00:00:28.600
and last, but not least,
Media communications.

008
00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:34.000
We, students of media communication,
are a bunch of people with varied interests.

009
00:00:34.300 --> 00:00:37.550
The faculty offers us an asortment of
different fields of knowledge,

010
00:00:37.550 --> 00:00:41.400
that we can decide to deepen and research,
according to our personal interests.

011
00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:44.900
In the second year of our
masters degree studies,

012
00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:48.800
we have an optional class
titled Human-Computer interaction.

013
00:00:51.700 --> 00:00:54.400
Here we learned about ergonomics of software,

014
00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:56.700
aplications for gathering information

015
00:00:56.700 --> 00:00:59.700
and the tools of designing
a user-friendly interface,

016
00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:04.800
as well as attempting to develop personas

017
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:07.000
and trying our hands at prototyping,

018
00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:11.600
which included rapid prototyping,

019
00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:14.000
paper prototyping,

020
00:01:16.300 --> 00:01:19.000
and developing functions for diferent systems.

021
00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.600
Some of us decide to learn
more about media production,

022
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:28.700
which includes knowledge about
cameras, video editing,

023
00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:33.000
journalism, media apearences,
rethorical speaking, public relations,

024
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:33.800
and so on.

025
00:01:34.300 --> 00:01:37.800
While others decide to dabble
more into visual communications.

025
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.500
For example photography,
3D modeling and animation,

026
00:01:41.500 --> 00:01:44.200
web and graphic design,
and many other fealds.

027
00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:48.000
Media communications is a diverse study program,

028
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.200
that gives students the opportunity
to explore different fields

029
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.500
and develope their potencial
both in theory and practice.
