JMU-tube
Yep, it's honestly called JMU-tube. No joke. The university has set up a site where professors can post their videos for students to download and play. This site is gonna make it a lot easier for me to give students access to my video lessons that I use in my course.
I'm experimenting a little by uploading the video of my summer grant report. Normally summer grants require the professor to turn in a binder containing a written report of the project at the end, a report that *nobody* ever reads. So, being the smart-donkey I am, I decided to try to see if I can get away with posting a video report instead of wasting my time putting together the binder and paper report. I don't know if the powers-that-be will let me get away with it, but hey, it's worth a try.
Non-linear video editing is a lotta fun, once you overcome the learning curve of the software. In fact, it's so much fun, you have to restrain yourself from using too many nifty features and making the lesson distracting.
If you've got six minutes to waste and nothing better to do, you are welcome to "read my report" on "what I did on my summer vacation". Click on this link, and then when the applet appears, you'll have to click on the "Play" button on the bottom left of the applet window.
