More and more learning providers are using video for teaching and learning as well as for evidence; in many cases these videos are stored on their YouTube Channel.

The ways in which learners, practitioners, assessors, verifiers etc., can interact around these YouTube videos have been the same for too long. It was about time someone devised a system letting users do more with them.

Embed Plus is such a system.

In general terms, any video that users embed, using EmbedPlus, has a much better set of playback options (comparable to the ones found on DVD players), and stakeholders who watch the embeded video are given the chance to interact in a much grander way.

For example...

  • Twitter reactions to videos can be displayed right within the player;
  • annotations can be added to any clip; to label scenes and/or to subtitle what is being displayed (for informative or assessment purposes - both things are perfectly possible).

With the advanced playback options, users are enabled to skip whole sections and jump straight to marked times. These are actually denoted by the user who has embedded the video, and they are great for bringing the attention of users to the highlights of the video in question.

Here is my first effort using my 1st Blogcast for December 2010 http://bit.ly/hCEIYd.
