QuieTube or SilenTube: Video without the distractions

July 18, 2011

QuieTube and SilenTube provide users buttons which they can drag to their toolbar.

When they see a YouTube video they want to use in resources/VLE/etc., they can click the button and they’ll get a URL which will let them, and/or their learners, watch just the video.

Users can embed these links into IWB pages to go straight to the video page.

YouTube and Creative Common

June 3, 2011
Image YouTube Blog Header

Allowing broad noncommercial use of otherwise protected material significantly expands the pool of resources faculty and learners can use in teaching and learning. Knowing quickly and easily whether a piece of content can be distributed, modified, or remixed fits well with the teaching style of many practitioners—they want to be able to search for up-to-the-minute artifacts and include them in lectures and learning materials, without having to worry about obtaining permission.
