The podcasts are typically 15 to 20 minutes. The site provides a reference to the issue of the Journal in which the article appeared and a short summary of the podcast content. Recent interviews have been with the authors of ‘Practice Parameter for the Assessment and Treatment of Children and Adolescents With Eating Disorders’ and ‘Clinic- and Home-Based Contingency Management Plus Parent Training for Adolescent Cannabis Use Disorders’.

This history resource features a crisp, clean design and has a wide range of nicely-illustrated, easily searchable articles, reviews, podcasts, videos and interviews. Although it is aimed at a broad audience rather than a specifically academic one, there is much here that will interest teachers and researchers. Some of the content is directly concerned with pedagogy, such as this piece on history in the classroom which rehearses some of the recent arguments between politicians and academics on how history should be taught, and argues that the use of audiovisual materials in the classroom (such as Blackadder Goes Forth, in teaching the First World War) is more nuanced and critically engaged than the way it tends to be presented by politicians and in the mainstream press. Elsewhere Matthew Jones writes about UCL’s Cultural Memory and British Cinema-going of the 1960s project and among the site’s podcasts is a series on ‘Iconic Texts’, in which academics talk about documents which have had a profound historical impact, such as the Communist Manifesto, Thomas Hobbes’ ‘Leviathan’ and Mary Wolstonecraft’s ‘Vindication of the Rights of Woman’.

This site presents videos of academics from various disciplines, talking to camera about their interests and research. The aim is to communicate research in a way that is accessible to the wider public. The videos are professionally made and the participants present their ideas clearly in an unadorned, simple way, largely relying on direct, to camera communication, without any other audiovisual aids. Users can narrow their search by four broad categories: Arts and Humanities, Formal Sciences, Natural Sciences, Professional and Social Sciences. Amongst the disciplines currently represented on the site are Architecture, History, Philosophy, Sociology, Finance, Fashion, Film Studies, Management and Planetary Sciences. All content is free to view but there are various Licensing options for use of the content beyond the platform. A simple idea, well executed.

The new EUscreen portal features content from over twenty archives and broadcasters across Europe, bringing together videos, stills, text and audio that provide an insight into the social, cultural, political and economic events that have shaped the 20th and 21st centuries. The content is freely available and offers researchers and academics the chance to study and compare the development of European television history across national borders. Much of the content on the new site is organised by series entry, allowing users to more easily trace not only the progress of historical events but also the changing modes of television production across the decades. A unified metadata schema unites Europe’s heterogenous audiovisual collections and provides a rich and detailed level of description which will enable researchers to contextualise the material and place it in its proper historical, social and technological environment. The new version of the portal supports html5 playout which allows the content to be viewed on mobile devices and tablets.
