Seth's Edublog

While surfing the Web this morning looking for information about embedding videos on blogs, I came across Seth's Edublog http://networkedmedia.adc.rmit.edu.au/index.php/about-this-blog/ . Seth is a professor who is interested in video theory and practice. Many of the entries discuss some topics that we cover in our class especially as related to Web 2.0.

He has a link to a video by a Stanford law professor that looks interesting
Free Culture: What we need from you

Seth gives guidelines for the "hypertext essay." This looks like an interesting idea but what if the links are broken?

Video theory is especially interesting to me since I did research in the 70s for educational TV on comparing the instructional effect of still pictures vs. moving pictures. At that time, it was slides vs. film.
