Hi all
Looking at the work going into establishing podcasting as an
institutional platform for promoting course content (etc) - e.g. in
the presentation by Barry Cornelius that Brian mentions below, I
wondered how much of the infrastructure is usable for a/v research
data collections. I don't necessarily mean the end product - people
will likely want to do more with annotated video research data than
they can with a podcast. But what about the workflows set up to deal
with legal issues, admin metadata, big file storage, streaming and
transcoding services? Is it in the remit of people providing
podcasting - usually I think within learning technology services - to
advise people on a/v research data? I know some do informally already,
but I wondered if people (like Jenny, Brian, Mike and Patricia) with
experience in this area see researchers making big demands on services
set up for e-learning, to make their audio-visual research data more
widely available? If they do, what are the most in-demand services? Or
are researchers using this kind of data concentrated in areas that are
resourced to do their own thing?
regards,
Angus
