Description
The Internet has provided a wealth of multimedia and video content to teachers, students, and researchers. It is saturated by user-created materials (YouTube, Vimeo), digitized or born digital special collections by non-profit institutions (ArtBabble, Arkive, Duke AdViews), educational distributors and producers (Learner.org, WGBH), for-fee providers of on-demand streaming media (NetFlix, HuluPlus, Amazon Instant), and library database vendors (Swank Digital, Alexander St. Press) -- and more. Educators are often challenged by searching for and access to digitized feature film content. Copyright is always a consideration, but also just the ability to find the materials in the format they need, can be complicated, especially for use in online environments. This presentation will help instructors and technologists navigate, discover, and mine for feature film content and clips using a selection of mobile apps and web interfaces. Focus will be on free resources with licensing available, such as Movieclips.com, CanIStreamit? (web and mobile app), as well as, discussion of other multimedia resources available for online learning. The presenter will also provide a link to material covered and presented, which includes additional resources. Attendees will learn of practical resources, discovery tools, and applications for feature film multimedia research, analysis, and discussion.
