JISC Digital Media is pleased to announce the release of three new advice documents exploring the issues of using web-based services to host and find video resources to support institutional objectives related to teaching, learning and business and community engagement.
Firstly there is an overview paper, detailing how the research was undertaken for this suite of papers and also providing a brief introduction to why organisations may investigate these services for finding resources and for hosting resources.
Secondly, a paper looking at how effective web based services are for finding suitable video resources that will support teaching and learning.
Thirdly, a discussion of the issues relating to using the web-based services for hosting videos that will impact the decision making process of whether to adopt this model of working or not.
