More Video Resources

Last week I posted about video resources and some of you let me know about even more resources that are available.

From Diane Palmer, Humanities Instructor:

YouTube EDU (lectures from top universities, tons of subjects)

Annenberg Foundation  (unbelievable range of subjects, sort of dated but ancient Rome is ancient Rome, wonderful lectures)


From Roxane BenVau, Librarian at Grossmont College:

Free Media Resources on the Internet  (Roxane compiled a comprehensive list of video resources in this document!)

Blackboard Exemplary Course Program

The 2010 Blackboard Exemplary Course Program is now open! This program "was born with the goal of identifying and disseminating effective practices for designing engaging online courses. Using a rubric, instructors and course designers can evaluate how well their own course conforms to effective practices for Course Design, Interaction & Collaboration, Assessment and Learner Support. "

You can submit your course for review or volunteer to be a reviewer. To find out more, visit http://www.blackboard.com/ecp.

Winners will be announced in April 2010 and highlighted at BbWorld 2010 in Orlando.

Video Resources

Today I have two excellent resources for those using or interested in using online video for your courses. The first comes from Rick Salisbury from DePaul University who wrote a blog post on Beyond YouTube: Great Places to Find Video for Your Online Course.

The other resource is from the Ohio State University Web Accessibility Center. It provides relatively easy instructions for Captioning YouTube Video and Providing Accessible Controls.
