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.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">This seminar will examine the rise of Internet video and user-generated content on the web.
