This site is dedicated to the preservation, celebration and analysis of Teletext, the television information service introduced to British television in 1974 and familiar to UK viewers as Ceefax on the BBC and Oracle on ITV. Featuring a podcast, articles, archived pages from the service, and even an application that allows you to create your own Teletext page, the site is a labour of love, the pinnacle of which is a teletext time machine: a fully interactive Ceefax service for the 20th July 1979.

Originally created by the Cognitive Science department at the University of California, San Diego and now hosted by the University of Indiana, Bloomington, the Cognitive Science Movie Index is a broad list of films that showcase themes in the Cognitive Sciences, with the aim of highlighting their potential usefulness in an educational context. A feedback system enables users to rate each film based on quality, relevance and accuracy.

The aim of this project, delivered by JISC Legal, Web2Rights Ltd and Creative Commons UK, is to provide intellectual property rights and licensing support for JISC/HEA funded OER Phase 2 projects, in order to help them identify and manage IPR issues with particular emphasis on the use of Creative Commons Licences. The range of advice and information sources produced are also freely available and of value to other open educational resource projects. A starter pack and diagnostic tools are available, and the website also hosts a blog for the discussion of relevant issues.

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.

Hundreds of video lectures and tutorials from around the world are available from here on a variety of scientific topics as well as interviews with such luminaries as Tim Berners Lee and Noam Chomsky. Windows Media Player is required to view. The presentation is for the most part very straightforward and rarely goes beyond the taping in medium shot of a speaker lecturing his audience, though some of the interviews do stray outside the lecture hall. The encodings are perfectly watchable even for items that last over an hour and in addition copies of the relevant PowerPoints have sometimes been included. The site does not offer a subject index, but there is an alphabetised run down of all the speakers. The site is available in English and Slovenian.

Shotlist, part of the EBS Trust, produces subject-specific video materials for teaching and research, which are distributed at minimal cost to all UK education establishments, who are also able to purchase sub-masters from which they are permitted to copy, re-edit, and re-format the programmes according to their own needs. The site gives descriptions of the videos by subject: Biology, Business Studies, Chemistry, Engineering, Information Systems, Practical Maths, Psychology, and a series of lectures on Irish literary figures including Joyce, Wilde and Yeats.

Produced by the University of Virginia’s Department of Computer Science, this celebrated site uses data from the Internet Movie Database to show the degrees of separation between any screen actor and Kevin Bacon. The site is a demonstration of some fundamental principles of computer science and mathematics, as well as being an illuminating illustration of the spread of world cinema, and great fun. So, for example, Mary Pickford has a Bacon number of 3: she was in Hollywood Hobbies (1939) with William ‘Billy’ Benedict, William ‘Billy’ Benedict was in Farewell, My Lovely (1975) with Sylvester Stallone, Sylvester Stallone was in Dolan’s Cadillac (2002) with Kevin Bacon.

The University of Southampton’s School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) launched the first video podcast news service from a UK university in March 2006. The programme is available on the School’s web site and can be downloaded either to be viewed on a portable device (such as an i-Pod video or PSP), or a laptop or desktop screen, or to be listened to as a conventional audio podcast for MP3 players, or i-Pods. ECS News provides coverage of research, people, and events in the School.

Despite a perhaps unfortunate sounding acronym, the EEVL Gateway has developed greatly in the last six years. Originally just covering Engineering, in addition it now also provides a wealth of information on Mathematics and Computing, mainly through its Internet Resource Catalogue, a collection of over 9,000 descriptions and links to quality Internet web sites. The service is run by Heriot-Watt University, Cranfield University, the University of Birmingham and the University of Ulster. The site provides engines to search for new articles, events, advances in manufacturing and even a section on job availability.
This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 16/07/2017. This does not include access to the moving images.
