Dear All

As part of a symposium on Open Access, ETH Zurich hosts a workshop on 
Open Video

January 21st 2010, 1:30 pm CET (4:30 am PST, 7:30 am EST, 12:30 pm GMT)

with presentations and discussions on various topics related to the 
dissemination of academic video - cf. 
http://www.global.ethz.ch/news/index or the program at the end of this 
mail.

As most of you unfortunately won't be able to make it to Zurich at this 
short notice, we're considering recording, live streaming or 
videoconferencing (MCU) this event. Please let me know whether you would 
like to utilize any of these options.

Regards

Olaf A. Schulte

Open Access to Academic Video &  the Opencast Community The significant 
increase in lecture recording has fuelled hopes for a global repository 
of academic video to serve as a teaching knowledge pool for everyone. 
However, many videos end up behind the password-protected walls of 
Learning Management Systems or confined to local repositories. The 
reasons for this are manifold: Legal restriction, institutional 
policies, individual anxieties about copyright issues, technical 
inadequateness and insufficient metadata. However, commercial players 
like Apple (iTunes U) and Google (YouTube EDU) have demonstrated the 
feasibility of a universal exchange of academic video.

The Opencast Community is a global initiative dedicated to Open Video, 
that is:
- open software, technology, and formats (to produce and distribute video)
- open and accessible content
- open exchange of content
To attain these goals, 13 institutions from the Opencast Community are 
collaborating in the Opencast Matterhorn project to build a rich media 
management system adhering to the principles of Open Video.

With four IARU institutions being part of the Matterhorn consortium and 
another three affiliated to the Opencast Community, the workshop is to 
discuss issues around Open Video and to prepare a statement on Open 
Access to academic video.
