This conference paper outlines the initial development of the edgeX website and documents the outcomes of engagement with participants. EdgeX is a joint web-based research and development project based on Web2.0 technology, focusing on the grassroots creative community of Ipswich. The paper identifies perceived social and economic benefits of a "playful" user-led approach to grassroots content creation. The edgeX website will allows users to blog and upload text, audio and video and interact with others' content. It will include similar functionality to sites like Blogger, Flickr, and YouTube, with a local emphasis.
The annual Horizon Report describes the continuing work of the New Media Consortium (NMC)'s Horizon Project, a five-year qualitative research effort that seeks to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, or creative expression within learning-focused organizations. The 2008 Horizon Report, the fifth in this annual series, is produced as a collaboration between the NMC and the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI), an EDUCAUSE program. The main sections of the report describe six emerging technologies or practices that will likely enter mainstream use in learning-focused organizations within three adoption horizons over the next one to five years.

Three mistakes I've made with video. I could create a mini-series of these. It's part of the fun though.

Just been on holiday in Japan and tool lots of little video snips on a still camera. This is an effort to show one aspect of the trip. Better than snaps? or a supplement?

Hi John. I really really like that format for instructional video. I'm just trying to work out how to embed. I've seen it done but it doesn't appear obvious. Any ideas welcome.

Great thought provoking video "three mistakes..." by Concetta. Make sure you watch this. Feel free to use it Concetta. Thanks Concetta, think I have fixed the busted video link to "How to upload..."

Hi John, I wasn't able to watch the voicethread. Should it just start playing when you click the link? Thanks.

Hi John, I liked the combination of video in your Japan movie. Can I use it at the school I work with as an example of how to use video and stills to make a movie?

Thanks for the feedback Velma. Good points. I'm uploading new drafts so I'll publish them a bit smaller. I also wrote a blog on this topic because there are different sides to this. Is there any particular kind of information you do like getting from video? That's what I've been thinking about.

Thanks Concetta for your links. I particularly liked Spreeder. One thing with video - it is SOOOOO slow. I have broadband but it's still slow to download - but that's not the real issue. Video is slow. Films are slow. I would rather read a book than watch a film. Reading puts me in control. I get to decide what I want to skim over without losing the meaning. Film puts the film makers in control. There is sometimes a fast forward button but you miss out on the words and hence the meaning.

Leading para. for the 2008 Horizon report: "Grassroots Video Time-to-Adoption Horizon: One Year or Less Video is everywhere?and almost any device that can access the Internet can play (and probably capture) it. From user-created clips and machinima to creative mashups to excerpts from news or television shows, video has become a popular medium for personal communication. Editing and distribution can be done easily with affordable tools, lowering the barriers for production. Ubiquitous video capture capabilities have literally put the ability to record events in the hands of almost everyone. Once the exclusive province of highly trained professionals, video content production has gone grassroots." This highly reputable prediction panel for impact of technology on higher education is just another indication of the importance of this phenomenon, often simply called the YouTube revolution.
