Shirley,Any chance that you could share the results of your research last year?Andy Andy Blunden wrote: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.Andy Steve Gabosch wrote: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 ...- Steve On Feb 9, 2010, at 8:44 PM, Andy Blunden wrote: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?

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?

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.Andy Steve Gabosch wrote: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/termsSome 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 accessibilityOne 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)> 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] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ YouTube#cite_note-83>***************** - Steve On Feb 9, 2010, at 8:43 AM, Mabel Encinas wrote:Yes, you can.
