Week 6 - the Audio-Visual Week part 2

Moving swiftly on...YouTube! Doesn't really need any introduction, it's the bastion of drunken late night entertainment round at mine! Great for a nostalgia trip, you can't beat watching old episodes of Knightmare (it's amazing anyone ever won it!) and settling arguments about how the theme tune to Lost Cities of Gold went. Has to be said, it's not often I use YouTube for educational purposes, although I did recently when needing to create a GANTT chart in Excel - so thank you YouTube for saving my bacon on that one! Anyway, back to the task in hand, the YouTube Edu channel was pretty interesting, good to see the Open University's OpenLearn videos so widely watched! I'm on one of their Social Science courses, I hadn't realised how useful their videos were. There's also an interesting project going on at Nottingham University - they are representing Britain in an attempt to build the most efficient and attractive eco house. Check out their brief here. All in all, this exercise served as a good reminder that YouTube isn't all about cats playing piano and skateboarding dogs...
