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

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?

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.
