YouTube


Digital video is growing.

YouTube is a video sharing/networking site. Recently upgraded to support high definition video, YouTube hosts billions of videos. One of its key features is the ability to embed videos on other web sites. This feature allows students to watch video content without leaving the LMS and it makes your content more visually appealing.

Other digital video services include Jing (screencasting), online media conversion with media-convert.com, Viddler (video editing and sharing).
