Discovering what you can't always get from Google - Andrew Bevan - Jisc Digital Festival 2014
Nov 19, 2014
MediaHub is the trusted multimedia website bringing together content from many different sources including several Jisc initiatives. In addition, image, video and audio sources are searched from external websites and presented alongside hosted collections. Finding material is no longer the challenge but having it presented in a practical and relevant way.
Over the course of several years, a bank of supporting material has been amassed which will be shown at Digifest, demonstrating the many and varied ways such resources are being put to use. These have been provided by members of the education community to share with others using the site – reviews, case studies and even film trails. A new feature also enables user-uploaded images.
Other initiatives to enliven the material include blogposts to focus on the hidden depths of the site and tweets to highlight more topical themes. This drop-in session allows those attending the festival to see the possibilities of using this rich and rewarding material in their learning, teaching or research from illustrating assignments to projecting video within an academic environment.
The other important connection made with MediaHub is to other related Jisc services – BUFVC and Jisc Digital Media are linked on the site for additional support and guidance on using multimedia – providing a comprehensive experience.
Come along and see how it’s done, by using the right media – beyond Google.
