Anything else you want to tell us?:
Can you help us (or we work with you) collate the best educational
video's from the web together to create a volunteer based free open
source video library of educational video. http://www.WEBiversity.org is
the showcase example of how easily this can be done using the great MIRO
social software but the next stage is to build on this open source
software to create peer 2 peer and collaboration features so that
creative commons video can be shared and edited together. Could this be
of use to your organisation or the university you went to?
Webiversity.org FREE Educational Video Talks and Lectures from the web
for everyone to enjoy. Watch, share and add the best video content you
find to share it with others. This site is run as a not for profit by
volunteers and uses open source software. contact @whymandesign for more
details
http://www.WEBiversity.org plans to generate suplus funds that can then
be donated and use to fund other innovative charitable work
