Subject: Re: [PSCI-COM] TV Channel
As Alom kindly pointed out earlier, the Ri Channel (http://richannel.org) is a web-video project we’ve recently launched incorporating many of the ideas and enthusiasms expressed in this thread, albeit online rather than through a traditional broadcast platform!
We’ve been working really hard to create an online channel which essentially acts as a hub for the best science video on the web and since launch we’ve featured well over 200 videos on the site. We know curation of online content is becoming increasingly important so we’ve been working with a number of partners to not only produce new content, but to also pull together some of the amazing content that already exists online. If you take a look at our best-of-the-web (http://richannel.org/best-of-the-web) and collection (http://richannel.org/collections) sections you’ll see we’ve already got lots to get your teeth stuck into and we update these on a weekly basis.
We’re also creating a lot of our own content, Tales of the Prep Room (http://richannel.org/collections/2011/tales-from-the-prep-room) and DemoJam (http://richannel.org/demojam-0) are just two of the projects we’ve been working on and that’s not to mention our Christmas Lectures and evening events being made available also. As we’re online we’ve also got the ability to provide more interactivity than the traditional broadcast medium, expanding on our videos are timecoded transcripts and ‘footnotes’ which scroll along during video playback to provide additional learning resources.
Most of all we really value working together with the community, so we’re keen to hear your thoughts and especially from anyone interested in working with us to produce or spotlight new content – whether individuals or organisations. The more the merrier, in fact.
Although we’re not on TV, all our content is available on-demand, 24/7 and much of our own content is freely available to download under a creative commons licence – so you can watch it on your TV if you really want to!
