Hi Wayne et al, I'll just vote for the use of Blip as, short term, it offers the ability to embed a video with an approriate license, and find them via the cc.org search tool. A bit of a band aid approach but no can say the WE community ain't creative.
Longer term, in the (academic) video communities the considerations are the same as the WE model = how to set up a spot in cyberspace so a disciplinary community can get together and produce content, capture their communications, stream them, build an archive & create a way for global communities to find them; regardless of their preferred language. The only real complication to the model is that they are attempting to bring the real time stuff and (say) asynchronous stuff to the same "publishing point" (as the comms guys will call it). E.g. WE groups would probably like to stream events from the WE domain as a publishing point, record it and then archive at the same (streaming) point, which enhances the community archive while reinforcing the domain's 'attractive' qualities. I'm in Spain now primarily to see if the terena communities won't work together in order to provide a solution to the global communities who span the Trans European Research & Education Networks. The agenda's are beginning to form up now. I'll just point you at these three task force agendas. Storage/Archiving. http://www.terena.org/activities/tf-storage/ws7/agenda.html Streaming and distribution. http://www.terena.org/activities/media/meeting1/programme.html Real Time Comms and promotion. http://www.terena.org/activities/tf-cpr/ (Thats not quite right as a description of each but, taken together, covers the main issues). Terena is attractive to me primarily as their communities must address the language challenge = where one domain aggregates the raw materials in a commons in order to share them with similar disciplinarians/different languages. (gives me a chance to learn Espanol as well). Hope this note doesn't distract you from just doing what you have in mind (as if I could). Just tuck it away for future reference. http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/foi/events/fippp/index_en.htm All the best. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
