My colleague Stan Ruecker has been create short online movies of humanities computing software tools he is involved in like the Mandala Browser and the Digital Profiles rich prospect browser. These are in the tradition of videos like A Vision of Students Today from the Digital Ethnography folk. There is also the TEI Encoding of Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues. Neat idea – we should get more comfortable with YouTube as a way of conveying ideas.

I find this medium to be an wonderfully succinct and understandable way of conveying instruction online. I found Stan’s videos really useful in trying to explain the Mandala Browser recently. Along the same lines, when I was recently learning Ruby on Rails I started with a book and a video series, and the books seemed useless next to the screencasts.
