Reliving ALT-C 2009 keynotes with preserved tweets

Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend ALT-C this year and will have to muddle on as a remote delegate, primarily surfing the conferencing twitter stream. Brian Kelly posted about the Use of Twitter at the ALTC 2009 Conference last year and by all accounts if ALT are able to video stream the keynotes again […]

Something about the value of your institutions website (and how you might improve it)

The image above from xkcd.com webcomic was doing the rounds on Friday. I’m sure you recognise parts of your institution’s own website in this diagram, in particular I usually find more joy in finding faculty members phone/email addresses on Google rather than on the official site. A couple of tools which sprung to mind when […]

Give it a REST: iTitle/uTitle linking (oh and you can comment on Vimeo vids in uTitle)

[flickr]3040682476[/flickr] In Brian Kelly’s Captioned Videos of IWMW 2010 Talks post last month he had three suggestions for improvement: searchable collections; a ‘RESTful interface’ to link to specific tweets in the video; and better cross browser support. In my last post on iTitle I highlighted 97% of desktop web browsers can now enjoy iTitle Twitter […]

Using YouTube for audio/video feedback for students

[flickr]2469419808[/flickr] A long, long, long time ago I wrote a post Using Tokbox for Live and Recorded Video Feedback in which I demonstrated how the free ManyCam software could be used to turn your desktop into a virtual webcam to provide feedback on students work in a Russell Stannard styley. Recently my colleague Kenji Lamb […]

Bookmarklets: Auto form filling and more

[flickr]4326217872[/flickr] Bookmarklets are small applications which can be saved in your web browser as … well ‘bookmarks’, which then let you use one-click automation of a wide variety of tasks from sending links, manipulating font-size, looking up related information. JISC TechDis even have a collection of web accessibility tools as part of their JISC TechDis […]

97%* of desktop web browsers can now enjoy iTitle Twitter Subtitling – Vimeo edition

[flickr]4619831939[/flickr] Having spent a couple of nights crunching code it’s time to catch up with some paperwork. Since writing about the iTitle updates in Twitter subtitling, the three E’s: Embed, embed, embed Brian Kelly has followed up with a couple of posts (Captioned Videos of IWMW 2010 Talks and Twitter Captioned Videos Gets Even Better) […]

Twitter/YouTube commenting: Embeddable, open sourced and with its own WordPress plugin [uTitle]

Having added embed options for the Twitter subtitling of live events (iTitle), it made sense to include these with the Twitter/YouTube commenting tool (uTitle). As both these tools have some code in common adding embed options for the player and player+navigation was relatively straight forward. So now you can embed Twitter commented YouTube videos in […]

Twitter subtitling, the three E’s: Embed, embed, embed

A conversation with Brian Kelly led to a quick refresh of the Twitter Subtitle Generator (iTitle) [I’ve got tired of linking to all of mine and Tony’s previous posts on this so started the Twitter subtitling wikipedia entry]. Brian was interested in using iTitle to create twitter captioned versions of videos from IWMW10. Their plan […]
