On March 26th, a Higher Education Digital Video Summit was held to discuss the present and future of digital video in higher education.
For the executive summary of the Summit, including recommended next steps for action, and a couple of pictures from the event, please click on the following link: http://www.west.asu.edu/icdeg/digitalsummit It was a productive meeting and the "Gang of 7" wants to follow through on the recommended steps for action. Coincidentally other initiatives were launched independently of the Summit and appear to address two of the identified Next Steps. They are: Mellon Foundation grant to ARL to develop "Best Practices in Fair Use" http://www.arl.org/news/pr/mellon-grant-8apr10.shtml http://chaucer.umuc.edu/blogcip/collectanea/2010/04/best_practices_in_fair_use_com.html Indiana University survey on academic libraries plans and practices for delivery of Streaming Video (Reported on VideoLib, April 29) http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/libvideo>http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/libvideo If you have additional ideas or information to share, please contact Jane Hutchison ( hutchis...@wpunj.edu ) We look forward to a continuation of the discussion held on the 26th and how we can move forward in providing digital video streaming for the higher education communities.
