In 2009 over 850 cans of film were rescued from a discard pile at a defunct Russian Cultural Centre in Amman, Jordan. Eventually they came to the attention of Matthew Epler, an American who was then teaching in Jordan. This website was created by Epler with the aim of use crowdsourcing to identify and translate the labels on the cans, with a view to eventually digitising the films and creating an online resource for scholars and researchers, as well as recovering the history of what appears to be a culturally significant find.
Epler and his colleagues photographed the label on each can and created an online database of images, with fields for researchers to comment. So far, with the assistance of interested researchers, nearly 600 labels have been translated. The material spans five decades from the 1930s to the 1980s and most of it comes from SovExportFilm, a Soviet film agency. A number of clips have been digitised and can be viewed here. Among the films identified so far are a documentary confirmed to be part of the PLO Film Archive, lost since 1985; footage of King Hussein in 1968 addressing the United Nations in the aftermath of the Six Day War and documentary footage of Jerusalem in 1968 and its aftermath.
The site is currently (Nov. 2014) inactive but some of the footage can still be viewed on the Moving Image Archive News site.

There are over 9 million people in the UK with a hearing difficulty who may be dependent on subtitles in order to enjoy DVDs. One of the primary aims of this website is to promote subtitled DVDs by ensuring that subtitle users are able to find subtitled DVDs that they want, and encouraging studios to release more subtitled DVDs. The site lists thousands of commercial DVD releases (both current and deleted) and users of the site have indicated to what extent they are subtitled (all content, main feature and some of the extras, main feature only, not subtitled, probably subtitled). Unfortunately, the the majority do not have any subtitles and these are featured in the ‘Hall of Shame’. A section of the site giving statistics on subtitling is listed as being under construction and there is a Speak your Mind section for users’ comments.

A blog that brings together resources available on YouTube for language learning. The blogger, ‘Elan’, uses his expertise as a language teacher to select and annotate the most useful of the hundreds of free video language tutorials uploaded to YouTube from around the world. Some are well structured, multi-part courses, while others are of a much simpler nature. In theory, you can start learning a foreign language online from the very beginning and reach an intermediate level of fluency. As well as selecting YouTube videos, he recommends sites with a significant number of language activities such as free listening materials, grammar online tutorials, reading "handouts", etc. Most are free of charge, some not.

Created using Thinkmap data-animation technology, this is a ‘spatial map of linguistic associations’; in effect, a visualisation of the operation and meaning of a thesaurus. Click on any of the floating words and a variety of associated words and meanings branch out, then click on these, and journey on through the English language. A simple idea, beautifully executed, but will only work on systems that support Java.

Essentially an electronic primer for Daniel Chandler’s book Semiotics: The Basics, the text is aimed at absolute beginners and is a useful introduction to the study of semiotics. There are a number of hyper links throughout the essays which either take you to the bibliography or other parts of the site or to the results page on Alta Vista. The site has been updated many times since the publication of the book version.

A service funded, until July 2011, by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) for accessing Internet resources for learning and teaching communities in the UK. Organised into 19 gateways covering Science and Technology, Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, and Health and Life Sciences. Previously known as the Resource Discovery Network. NB Intute closed in July 2011 and the site has now been archived. No further resources are being added and no changes are being made to existing content, so the resource will increasingly become less useful and reliable.
