Description
A lot of the work nowadays that looks at how online video is used as a tool for educational or research purposes is very much centered on communities where access to certain technologies is assumed: broadband internet, cell phone cameras or regular cameras, computers that are capable of editing software.
The goal of this do-a-thon, then, has two parts:
- Identify where and how are these assumptions the wrong place to start from.
- Identify where communities that don't fit these assumptions could start working from if they decide that online video can be useful to them.
How can others contribute?
First: if you've ever thought about using online video but ended up deciding against it, please share why here, or in this google spreadsheet. This can be from the perspective of either in front of or behind the camera. We'll compile this into a single Google doc so that during the do-a-thon we can compare notes, see what similarities exist, and see if solutions already exist.
Second: mention what your current technology landscape looks like for the following:
- Internet connection speed/type: Likely answers are dial-up, satphone, broadband, mobile data, but you might have something else!
- Internet connection location: In the home? At work? Shared connection in a public space (university/library/coffeeshops)? None or very high barrier to use?
- Cameras available to use: Webcam? Smartphone? Point-and-shoot digital camera? DSLR? Camcorder?
- Computers available to use & location: (locations same as above) Smartphone? Tablet or Chromebook? Laptop or desktop computer?
- Editing software at hand: iMovie? Windows Movie Maker? Adobe Premiere? DaVinci? Something else?

Sitting at "table 21, come find me! I'm putting together a quick form on Google to help standardize data input! Will put link here once done :)
Hey @pmusser, thank you!!! I completed the survey and will be watching this space to contribute and follow further.
Made some revisions to the survey, adding images to help make questions more understandable
9 survey responses received so far! hectic past couple of weeks so I haven't had time to work on this any further, but open to suggestions on next steps
