A site demonstrating video-on-demand and streaming media in support of teaching and learning within the University of Portsmouth and across the Internet. Contains video streams of varying quality and bandwidth. It links to the Lifesign, NanoNet, Geoscience and Industrial Economics web developments, and showcases the use of streaming media in recruitment, business, biology, pharmacology, and teaching and learning. It also features individual students’ projects.
This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 21/08/2006. This does not include access to the moving images.

Several dozen Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) made for staff and students at the University of Nottingham, lasting between 15 and 30 minutes, can be accessed here. Topics can be searched by a detailed list and include: Anatomy, Genetics, Maths, Midwifery, Pharmacology, Philosophy, Veterinary Science. Although the site states that it has not been updated since 2008 items are in fact still being added. Although spartan in appearance it remains an easy-to-use and fascinating resource. Requires Flash.

This page was created by Professor Brad Stith at the University of Colorado and is an introduction for undergraduates undertaking biology research. It includes a number of Flash animations on basic principles of fertilisation and cell division as well as some useful PowerPoint presentations on using AV technology. It also links to an interesting article on how the feature film LORENZO’S OIL can be used to teach research methods in cell biology

These streamed audiovisual resources are presented by Baylor College of Medicine in the US and are combination Power Point and video and/or audio lectures, aimed at both teachers and students. Topics covered include Biology classification, bio-terrorism, animal behaviour, ecosystems, asthma as well as extended sections looking at the human organism and laboratory techniques. Also included are a large number of slides which can be downloaded and used. The presentations last approximately a quarter of an hour and the encoding is of a good standard throughout.

Part of the BBC’s commercial arm, the BBC Motion Gallery includes footage from its archives as well as those of CBS in the United States and is primarily a footage resource for companies in the commercial sector. However, the site also features hundreds of streamed samples of its wares (some lasting only a few seconds), which can be searched by subject and viewed freely via Windows Media Player. The items are adequately encoded and categories include Animals, Business, Places, Nature, News & Events, Science & Technology, Travel, Sport and others. In addition to which there are a huge number of keywords (although there is no actual list to access), as well as pre-organised ‘Concepts’ such as Flirting, Danger, Action and so on which are listed alphabetically. The advanced search makes use of disguised Boolean Search operators but also allows for searches to be limited to format, colour and aspect ratio. It effectively operates as an index to the whole BBC archive. Registration is required but is free and all clips feature BBC digital onscreen graphics as watermarks. In Nov 2007 a new online service was launched in partnership with JISC, to give UK FE and HE institutions access to a selection of footage for use in an educational setting via a password-protected site http://www.jiscmotiongallery.com. At the end of 2009 the Motion Gallery launched the World in Motion channel on Youtube to show high definition clips of programmes such as NOTES ON A CITY.

Previously known as People’s Archive is a service "dedicated to collecting for posterity the stories of the great thinkers and creators of our time". Currently it features detailed interviews with biologists, filmmakers, physicists, mathematicians and craftsmen from various fields. Oddly all the interview subjects were initially male currently, but presumably this was coincidental and is slowly being addressed - currently there are interviews with Diana Athill, Dorothy Hodgkin, Paula Rego, Denise Scott Brown and Gitta Sereny. The archive currently contains over 200 items totaling over 100 hours. The clips have been very well encoded. A well organised resource which is very effectively segmented, it offers good transcriptions of all interviews and provides valuable oral histories. Subdivided into Remarkable People and Great Lives, with the latter organised into Arts, Politics and Science.

Scientific American Frontiers is an American television series hosted by Alan Alda and broadcast on PBS. Its site gives the current TV schedule, teaching materials, and a very impressive video archive of past programmes, searchable by topic or keyword. This offers either complete programmes or segments using Real or Windows Media Player, for low or high-band connections, with most having an accompanying transcript where users can click on a particular point in the transcript to access that point in the video. Topics covered include archaeology, astronomy, biology/nature, chemistry/physics, computers/technology, earth science, engineering/mathematics, medicine/health, and psychology/cognitive science. Some have links to PBS web features, teaching guides etc.
