Week 11 - Videos

YouTube proved interesting in its range of subject material ranging from old documentaries, entertainment and to more academic discussions. It was difficult to find videos of high quality suitable for tertiary institutions. The search time involved in finding and evaluating suitable material proved demanding. YouTube is also heavily US in content. In examining Yahoo Video it was found that there was a lot of historical material and less current instructional content. Both Yahoo Video and Google Video yielded less useful results compared with YouTube.

Below is a video we found that gives a brief introduction to YouTube which may be of interest for this week's topic.
