WatchKnow Launches with over 10,000 Educational Video Clips
After quite some development time, the much heralded WatchKnow video service for educationalists was launched on 21st October.
The site currently offers 10,000 videos placed in over 2,000 categories, arranged in a very handy directory. Those behind the site which includes Larry Sanger, co-founder of wikipedia, Larry Lessig of Creative Commons fame and Jack Koumi, well-known in European video in education circles, describe WatchKnow as a new kind of wiki where working together, contributors can "edit video information, and they can also edit the directory by drag and drop, which will make building the resource truly "wikiwiki"--fast."
While this non-profit project is wide open and easy to get involved with (even anonymously), the project engages teachers to act as community moderators.
