This London-based independent news organisation not only offers short courses on factual film-making but also supplies international video coverage to such major organisations as CNN, Channel Four, the BBC and many others. The website offers some two dozen streamed stories (requiring Windows Media Player) from around the globe, adequately encoded and lasting on average between ten and fifteen minutes each. Half a dozen full-length titles are also offered for sale on DVD. The subjects covered include famine in Ethiopia, unrest in Sierra Leone as well as the fortunes of West African migrants as well as reports from Burma, Bangladesh, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Israel and several other countries. This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 14/08/2014. This does not include access to the moving images.

ArtSigns is an online sign language glossary for terms in art and design, funded by the Department for Education and Skills. It contains over 2,000 signs, demonstrated with streaming video (QuickTime or Windows Media Player), which are categorised under 3D Design, Applied Arts and Design, Art History, Digital Media, Fine Art, General Art & Design Terms, and Visual Communications. Each term comes with a useful written definition, and there is a good system of cross-referencing to related terms, making it a handy guide to art and design in general as well as to the hearing-impaired.
