<blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Internet video, it seems, is suddenly
everywhere. In less than a year, YouTube and video podcasting have
become cultural phenomena, presenting everything from slick network
and studio fare to ultra low budget user-generated content. Plans
are currently being made to launch a "YouTube for MIT,"
tentatively called TechTV. The site will focus on supporting science
and technology education for the MIT community and beyond. It will
serve as an aggregator of existing MIT web video, and provide a
publishing venue for user generated content with a science focus. Its
goals will be to serve a number of MIT communities: faculty, students,
the administration, alumni, and prospective students, as well as to
foster new communities dedicated to creating and sharing media about
science and technology. The Dean's Office of the School of Engineering
is leading this effort. A pilot offering of TechTV will be a
"channel" focused on outreach to secondary school students
to inspire them to pursue engineering studies.</blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>This seminar will examine the rise of
Internet video and user-generated content on the
web. We'll go through the Internet video publishing process
and look at best practices for using video on the web. Come
discuss how these new distribution technologies might best serve the
MIT Community. We welcome your input!</blockquote>
