A condensed version of a presentation on the Edmediashare project given at the University of Bristol Learning & Teaching Exhibition. Notes: 2. With unprecedented amounts of video being uploaded to User-Generated Content sites (60hrs every minute on YouTube alone) it's getting much harder to find useful content for teaching, learning and research. Recent research shows that finding good quality, usable content is a major problem for educators, and that the "huge mass of vaguely related video"1 that results from a typical search normally involves a large amount of time wasted in sorting the good from the bad. (1. Burden, K., and Atkinson, S. (2008). Beyond Content: Developing Transferable Learning Designs with Digital Video Archives. University of Hull, UK. [Online] Available at: http://goo.gl/yv1nX [Accessed 5 September 2011].) 3. Although studies have demonstrated the importance of Communities of Practice to support the use of online video there are no examples of successful peer-produced interventions that link educators and learners use of this content with pedagogic practice. In October 2011 www.edmediashare.org was launched as a proof of concept, knowledge sharing, Open Educational Resource (OER) tool by JISC Digital Media. The aim of the site is essentially to help educators and learners share the online video they use and some information on how they use it. 4. The video comes form anywhere that is willing to share – Vimeo, YouTube, Internet Archive, Google Video… When you share you add comments on how you use the videos you recommend, and show that you like videos recommended by others. You can share and embed video from this site into your VLE, email, wiki, blog, facebook, twitter... 5. The key aspects of EdMediaShare are: - it collects and presents recommendations of videos that are actually being used to support learning: - it allows searching by discipline and learning design (based on the Dial-e Framework) - it includes information on how videos are actually used. We believe this combination of recommendation and pedagogic information makes finding relevant videos significantly easier than at present. We’ve kept it simple to start with and focus on the three main things we want you to do – Share, Browse and find, and contact us to let us know what you think. 6. A unique aspects of this site is the use of a pedagogical framework (http://dial-e.net/ & http://goo.gl/6Ygcm) 8. The most important thing we want this site to do is to share the content educators and learners find useful. This informal peer review will make this a very useful resource. 10. Many of the videos recommended to edmediashare have been made with an explicit pedagogical aim, but the site also features videos that have no such aim - but which have demonstrated their effectiveness in supporting learning. 14. We want to develop the community and encourage more sharing. We’re very keen to hear what you want (www.surveymo
