Report from the Higher Education Digital Video Summit

[Deg Farrelly <deg.farrelly@xxxxxxx>]

On March 26th,  a Higher Education Digital Video Summit was held to discuss
the present and future of digital video in higher education.

For the executive summary of the Summit, including recommended next steps for
action, and a few pictures from the event, please click on the following link:

It was a productive meeting and the organizers (the "Gang of 7") wants to
follow through on the recommended steps for action.  Coincidentally other
initiatives were launched independently of the Summit and appear to address
two of the Next Steps identified in the Summit.  They are:

Mellon Foundation grant to ARL to develop "Best Practices in Fair Use"

If you have additional ideas or information to share, please contact Jane
Hutchison ( hutchisonj@xxxxxxxxx )

We look forward to a continuation of the discussion held on the 26th and how
we can move forward in providing digital video streaming for the higher
education communities.   We are currently exploring options for conducting
follow-up at the 2010 National Media Market.  http://nmm.net/
