    The Pacific Marine Environmental Agency in co-ordination with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, US Department of Commerce has been undertaking research on the geological and life sciences of volcanoes and hydrothermal vents across the world’s oceans. Remote controlled vehicles and submersibles have recorded footage. Other footage has been taken by the New Millennium Observatory (NeMO) an underwater observation centre at the site of the volcanic eruption of Axial Seamount off the Oregon coast. Videos includes the work of the researchers, the geological environment and the rare marine life of the area. A link to the NeMO website allows a virtual tour and ‘fly-through movie’ of the various research centres, making this an excellent site for the manipulation of interactive learning and assessment. The movies are available in a mixture of MPEG and QuickTime.

    The Open Video Project aims ‘to collect and make available a repository of digitized video content for the digital video, multimedia retrieval, digital library, and other research communities.' It is being developed by the Interaction Design Laboratory at the School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina. It is building up a library of downloadable video segments in MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and so far includes materials predominately from the Carnegie Mellon University Infomedia Project on geology, geography and oceanography; the University of Maryland Human-Computer Interaction Lab; and particularly the Prelinger Archives (the Internet Moving Images Archive) on everyday life in America. The Browse feature indicates how the videos are categorised by genre (documentary, lecture, educational, ephemeral), duration (under a minute to over ten minutes - many titles are available in segmented form), colour, sound and contributing organisation. Each title comes with basic catalogue information.

    The Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis has provided four complete series of hour long video lectures online using RealPlayer (either 56k or broadband): Computer Science (Visual Basic Programming 25 parts), English (Children’s Literature 21 parts), Geology (Indiana Geology 25 parts) and Health (Personal Health 15 parts). Another 15 lectures on Shakespeare are on the site, but are only available to registered students. The lectures never really stray from the usual format of simply recording the teacher standing and speaking for the whole time and no ancillary material is available from the site, which is otherwise admirably uncluttered and easy to use.
