Dear Shirley,
This is a great idea. Thanks for the work. I also have something to add, as
Lois does.
But I am afraid that we will create many different copies of the document.
I will just send you the information.
Reading through the document you sent, I became curious about details and
content of some of the mentioned course. I think that the next step should
be for us (XMCA) to somehow create a repository of the Syllabi for these
(and other) course. A place where we all can share and enrich our courses
with the ideas from each other. Would something like that be possible??
There are already some websites where teachers share materials, lesson
plans, syllabi and/pr reading lists.
Thanks for such a great job, Shirley.
Ana

Thanks Lois.
That would be great. I won't feel so badly about the incompleteness of
it, if people add to it!

Shirley,
Any chance that you could share the results of your research last
year?

Steve, in May last year there was a discussion on xmca about
"Teaching Vygotsky", initiated by Shirley Franklin. Here's the thread:
http://communication.ucsd.edu/MCA/Mail/xmcamail.2009_05.dir/msg00212.html
In this thread a lot of people gave information about the courses
they teach in CHAT.

One aspect (of many) on the content side might be to collect course
syllabi from around the world. I am thinking along the lines - perhaps too
grandly? - that this project could become a place where materials from and
information about hundreds of CHAT-relevant and CHAT-related courses - and
sections of courses - from a wide variety of places and venues could be
assembled and organized ... perhaps via a wiki. It might be a useful
resource to see so many syllabi from so many places inter-linked by topics,
keywords, readings, etc. Am I thinking too big here? I wonder how many
such syllabi are on the computers of xmca'ers alone as we speak ...

OK, so while we're investigating options for archiving the
resources, we need a process for drawing up a grand list of topics I think,
so we can start assigning topics to lecturers, and recruiting speakers. The
latter task involves all sorts of quality issues, whether technical,
pedagogic or scientific, but first we need a kind of master program,
probably enough topics for a 3-year course. :) No need to skimp on
resources.
How do people want to start building that up?

Could you tell us about Vimeo, Lois? And Mike you will report
back what Bruce can tell us. What we need to know is:
* is it free and public domain?
* is it likely to remain free and open for a decade?
* can videos be uploaded by any self-registered user?
* can it store and stream hour-long videos reliably?
* is it under the sway of corporate interests?
* is additional tech support needed?

This is not terribly good news.
I only ever watch youtube when people embed videos on their
FaceBook sites and this is pretty much what we'd be doing.
The reasons I have not volunteered marxists.org <
http://marxists.org> <http://marxists.org> for video streaming is that I
fear it may place too much load on our server and the name of the URL may
offend some. On the first point, I will speak to the tech guy and see if
this is real.
Another point.
I was involved in setting up the lecture recording facility at
Melbourne University. One of the factors was that we had to set up the
streaming so that students had to be registered on the relevant course
before they could view a lecture. An alternative was to prevent the video
being watched from outside the university, but this was not good enough,
because non-students could watch from within the university.
Surprisingly, it was not the bean counters who insisted on
this, but the lecturers, and it was not so much their "intellectual
property" that they were worried about, but their peers getting to watch
their performance. It is one thing to make a factual error in front of a
group of students who don't know any better and your words disappear into
the ether as soon as they are spoken, but quite another if your colleagues
can watch and re-watch it around a cup of coffee and have a good laugh.
Likewise, 30-second ummmmms, scrambling around with your notes, speaking in
monotones, etc. A lecturer in finance said that if the comments he made
about named businesses to illustrate his lectures were made public it could
cause disruption to the stock exchange and also get him sued.
So, the restriction of the videos turned out to be the /sine
qua non/ of streaming. Sorry to throw in a wobbly, but we need to hear from
some of our lecturers about this.

On this question of downloading from YouTube - here are some
links with relevant information. Apparently, this question of downloading
from YouTube is in the process of changing. YouTube is exploring how it can
make money allowing that.
First, on the YouTube terms and conditions. One relevant
condition is 5B, where it says: "You shall not copy or download any User
Submission unless you see a “download” or similar link displayed by YouTube
on the YouTube Website for that User Submission."
http://www.youtube.com/t/terms
Some political videos began to get "download" buttons about a
year ago.
http://news.cnet.com/some-youtube-videos-get-download-option/
Video ripping has become more difficult, and is obviously not
an option for us.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/02/---mark-milian.html?cid=149000259
The really important thing from our point of view that is
changing is YouTube is starting to charge fees for that download button.
Note that, according to this next article, some universities are using
YouTube to provide lectures free. But are they paying YouTube some kind of
fee for this service? And most important, does, or might YouTube and
Google, provide a free download option to non-profit, educational efforts
such as ours?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/12/AR2009021203239.html
All the above articles are about a year old, so there are
probably newer developments. I am just learning about all this.
The above links are all from the current article on YouTube in
Wikipedia. A relevant passage from that article is copied below.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube
Content accessibility
One of the key features of YouTube is the ability of users to
view its videos on web pages outside the site. Each YouTube video is
accompanied by a piece of HTML <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML>, which
can be used to embed it on a page outside the YouTube website. This
functionality is often used to embed YouTube videos in social networking <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking> pages and blogs <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog>.^[80] <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube#cite_note-79>
YouTube does not usually offer a download link for its videos,
and intends that they are viewed through its website interface.^[81] <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube#cite_note-80> A small number of
videos, such as the weekly addresses by President Barack Obama <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama>, can be downloaded as MP4 <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_14> files.^[82] <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube#cite_note-81> Numerous third-party
web sites, applications and browser plug-ins <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_(computing)<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_%28computing%29>>
allow users to download YouTube videos.^[83] <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube#cite_note-82> In February 2009,
YouTube announced a test service, allowing some partners to offer video
downloads for free or for a fee paid through Google Checkout <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Checkout>.^[84] <
