    Set up in 2012 by the Simons Foundation, the Institute brings together researchers in theoretical computer science to expand the horizons of the field. Their core activities consist of research programmes spanning all areas of theoretical computer science, as well as its connections to other scientific disciplines. Each programme lasts a semester and includes 60-70 participants. The Simons video archive offers free access to a large collection of in-house lectures including Algorithmic Trading and Machine Learning, Network Biology, Crytography, Lower Bounds, and Deterministic Counting and Probability. There is also the Print publications archive, which contains monographs, white papers or collections of open problems resulting from specific research programs, and the News section with current and historical news articles and newsletters.

    Colin Grimshaw, who worked in the Imperial College Television Studios for over forty years, maintains this blog, which showcases material from Imperial’s archives. The entries which accompany the videos provide a commentary on the history of the college, as well as an interesting record of the use of moving image technology from the 60s onwards, both in terms of the practical and technical aspects of video production, and in the wider sense of how Imperial pioneered the use of video in science education, as this entry on Professor Eric Laithwaite demonstrates. The videos are also available on YouTube

    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.
