The Visual Cognition Lab of the University of Illinois has created a number of videos that show the limits of perception, attention, and awareness. The videos come from Professor Daniel Simons’ experiments on visual awareness, and demonstrate how different viewers will see different things in seemingly simple actions. The videos include A Person Change Video, Changes Across Cuts in a Motion Picture, and A Subject in a Real-World Person Change Event . All require QuickTime or Java. A famous Simons experiment, the ‘basketball’ video, is available as a Java applet, from http://viscog.beckman.uiuc.edu/media/sciam.html. The videos, which cannot be downloaded, are also available for purchase on a DVD, Surprising Studies of Visual Awareness.

This archive, hosted by Columbia University, offered access to the complete range of free content developed for Fathom by its member institutions. Fathom was made up of 14 institutions, including LSE, the British Library, Cambridge University, Chicago University, and offered interviews, articles, performances, exhibits and free online seminars. The bias was mainly towards science, but journalism, history, politics and other areas were also covered. Inactive since August 2012 the site shows the following message: "This site is not longer being developed or maintained, but was part of a series of early and experimental online learning projects. Material here continues at present to be available to members of the Columbia community, but there may be some segments of the site that no longer work as initially intended."

Hundreds of video lectures and tutorials from around the world are available from here on a variety of scientific topics as well as interviews with such luminaries as Tim Berners Lee and Noam Chomsky. Windows Media Player is required to view. The presentation is for the most part very straightforward and rarely goes beyond the taping in medium shot of a speaker lecturing his audience, though some of the interviews do stray outside the lecture hall. The encodings are perfectly watchable even for items that last over an hour and in addition copies of the relevant PowerPoints have sometimes been included. The site does not offer a subject index, but there is an alphabetised run down of all the speakers. The site is available in English and Slovenian.

In March 2011 Discovery launched a UK website giving schedules for all its channels as well as guides to shows, image galleries and video clips. There is also a newsletter for receiving up-to-date news. However, this is still quite basic compared with the American Discovery Channel website which has quite elaborate pages for a much wider range of programmes featuring games and blogs as well as information on DVD availability.
