Sakai

An interesting option for instructional tech: Sakai -- an open source, free version of Blackboard that UNC is dabbling with.

If you would like to play with it, log in and look at my INLS 513 class tab to get an idea of what it is.

Use embedr for video/screencast playlists

A couple of months ago my colleague Carmen pointed me to Embedr, "a free service that lets anyone create a custom playlist of videos from the top video sites on the web." Finally had a chance to take a look at it and quite like it. Basically you can feed it the URLs of videos across the following video sharing sites: Atom Films, Blip.TV, Bragster, Break.com, College Humor, Dailymotion, DivShare, Edublogs.tv, Metacafe, TeacherTube, Google Video, MySpace Video, Vimeo, YouTube, or you can build a smart playlist from YouTube only that will automatically update based on keywords, categories, regions, YouTube usernames, etc. That would be a really quick way to keep a current list of all your library's screencasts in one spot on your library's site! Here's an example I grabbed from the public area of the Embedr site:
