GEOSET (Global Educational Outreach for Science, Engineering and Technology) is a freely accessible, searchable internet gateway to a selection of SET and related educational materials. Most of the videos take the form of ‘concept modules’ - rather than whole lectures or courses - focused on specific topics, in the form of split-screen presentations, in which the video of the presenter is in one window and the educational material synchronised and presented in a second window. GEOSET also links to other major sources of educational material such as at the Vega archive site and the Royal Society. Users can filter by age suitability, type of video, and subject.

Michael Wesch is an American cultural anthropologist, whose area of academic interest revolves around how people use digital media and how new media affects human interaction. In order to explore human uses of digital technology, Wesch formed the Digital Ethnography Working Group with a group of his students at the University of Kansas. At the same time he posted a video The Machine is Us/ing Us on YouTube which advances the idea that digital technology will change everything: the use of hyperlinks and xml will create an interconnected digital world in the image of those who have created it. Wesch’s point is that we need to be aware of this in order to make it happen. His ideas are explored in more depth in An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube. Both videos are also available on this site (and can be downloaded as wmv or Quicktime files) along with other videos, made by Wesch and his students, together with a thought-provoking blog.

Series of podcasts created by a sound designer and musician who goes by the alias SFX Ninja. Each episode addresses the process involved in the recording of sound and the creation of sound effects, offering advice on, for example, on how to record bird sounds and create chirping sound effects. Other episodes address ‘historical’ sound effects, video games and kitchen noises: others look at the challenges involved in recording bathroom noises and insect sounds. The podcasts also make an effort to contextualise the process, and include information about the history of sound effects and recording technology, as well as addressing the mixture of technological and creative skill needed. The overall tone is chatty and anecdotal but backed up by real expertise. Each podcast includes free sound clips and effects to download.

A portal which helps people to ‘find great podcasts’. Curated by Max Temkin and Veronica Corzo-Duchardt, the site presents a selection of mainly American podcasts, arranged under a number of topics, including Tech, Science & Education, Politics & Econ and Storytelling. An Interview page features transcripts of question and answer sessions with podcasters, writers, designers and other culturally-aware, creative people, who talk about their favourite podcasts, and why (and how) they like listening to them. The site works well because its focus is fairly narrow: the emphasis is on curation, and presenting a carefully selected range of interesting podcasts, rather than a comprehensive but overwhelming list of resources.
