Come hear about early-stage plans for a YouTube-like offering at MIT  
and share your ideas. Help shape the vision!

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.

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!
