Multimedia Training Videos is a series of free and open educational resources for instruction in the use of a variety of multimedia and ICT tools. It was created by members of the MSc in Multimedia at the University of Westminster. The project is a joint collaboration between the Joint Information Systems Committee-JISC, Higher Education Academy and the University of Westminster Education Initiative Centre. The videos include detailed instruction in the use of software such as Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Director and Audacity, as well as covering web tools and search engine optimisation. Other videos are planned to cover Javascript, CSS, PHP and WordPress. The resources are also available via other outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, Vimeo and YouTube and can be embedded into your own blog. The site contains its own that records all the work done to develop the site.

To celebrate the range of scientific issues discussed during the Royal Society’s 350th anniversary year the Science Sees Further website has been set up. It offers all those interested in science an opportunity to look at the key scientific issues of today, and those of tomorrow. The site is arranged in 12 chapters based on the subjects of the year’s discussion meetings - the ageing process, biological diversity, cognition and computation, cultural diversity, extra-terrestrial life, geoengineering, global sustainability, greenhouse gases, new vaccines, stem cell biology, uncertainty in science, and web science. Each section comprises an attractive subject summary (authored by the meeting organisers), short historical context using material from the Society’s Centre for History of Science, as well as interactive audio and video material.

This ambitious and highly impressive resource accompanies the 4-part BBC series on the history of the web presented by Dr Aleks Krotoski. Excitingly designed, its most significant features include a 3D Documentary Explorer, an experimental interactive browser that allows the first two episodes of the series to be viewed alongside relevant web content so that one may stop the programme at any moment and select other material to peruse and then restart again. In a fascinating development, rushes from the making of the series are also available for download to help users create their own documentary. Highly recommended.

The website accompanying the BBC Radio 4 series In Our Time, in which Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the history of ideas, has been redesigned, and the Archive section now makes every episode broadcast since the series began in 1998 available to listen to again via RealPlayer. Programmes are searchable by title, genre (culture, history, philosophy, religion, science) and by era, from prehistoric to 20th century. Recent programmes are available as podcasts, and an e-mail newsletter gives Melvyn Bragg’s personal insight into the latest programme.

The Centre for Learning & Performance (C4LPT) website offers a wealth of information and advice about tools and technologies for use in formal and informal learning, as well as a range of free resources. The site is divided into separate sections dealing with social learning; learning tools; a showcase containing hundreds of examples of technology-supported learning sites organised by general subject area, specific topic and by technology; a library containing thousands of links to articles, videos and presentations on learning- technology related subjects. Jane Hart, the founder of the Centre, produces blogs giving her e-learning pick of the day, as well as on social media in learning.

The Dead Media Project is a database of reports compiled by members of the Project’s mailing list, who contribute information on means of communication that are now obsolete. It is a characteristic of the Project that among the various comments that each posting generates there is often someone who can report that a supposed Dead Medium is still in use somewhere. Nevertheless, the site mostly records the dead and the fantastical: the phenakistoscope, the teleharmonium, Piesse’s Smell Organ, Loutherbourg’s Eidophusikon, Hummel’s Telediagraph, runic tally sticks, Scopitone, pigeon post, pneumatic mail, the whistling networks of the Canary Islands, and numerous moving image and sound devices that are no more. The Dead Media Project has itself been dead since July 2008, but it is worth looking at the pages via the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine to retrieve the information held at that date.

An impressive collection of instructional videos for free, online viewing produced by Russell Stannard of the University of Warwick, with the aim of encouraging and helping teachers and lecturers to use ICT and Web 2.0 technologies in their teaching. There are three separate collections of videos: one for tools to use in ESL/ELT teaching; one for teaching foreign languages (not just English); and one for teachers of any subject who want to know more about using ICT/Web 2.0 technologies and specific tools in their teaching.
