MIT's Video Lecture Search
Engine: Watch the video at ---
http://web.sls.csail.mit.edu/lectures/
Researchers at MIT have released a video and audio search tool that solves one
of the most challenging problems in the field: how to break up a lengthy
academic lecture into manageable chunks, pinpoint the location of keywords, and
direct the user to them. Announced last month, the MIT
Lecture Browser website gives the general public
detailed access to more than 200 lectures publicly available though the
university's
OpenCourseWare initiative. The search engine
leverages decades' worth of speech-recognition research at MIT and other
institutions to
convert
audio
into text and make it searchable.

April 14, 2003 message from Seamus Fitzroy [englishjobmaze@mail.com]
Dear Bob,
I would like to submit for your consideration an ESL/EFL job & info site for possible inclusion in the 'Program Search' (or other relevant) section of your informative area of the Trinity website.
The English Job Maze (http://www.englishjobmaze.com) is an
International ESL/EFL job & information site for ESL/EFL teachers and schools around the world. But it is also much more than 'just another' ESL/EFL job site. It contains a wealth of free TESL industy-related info for teachers, including one of the largest ELT bookstores on the Internet, plus 'Countries @ a Glance' - the most comprehensive TESL guide to pay, taxes, visas, travel, etc, in 50 of the world's most popular teaching destinations.
I hope you find this site useful. Hundreds of ESL/EFL teachers, schools and university/college graduates around the world have told us they do.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Warm regards
Seamus Fitzroy

From The Scout Report on January 18, 2002
A+ Country Reports http://www.countryreports.org/
A fantastic resource for students, teachers, tourists, and anyone else interested in the globe, A+ Country Reports offers a wealth of information on all of the countries of the world. Like the CIA's World Factbook (last mentioned in the September 28, 2001 _Scout Report_ ), A+ Country Reports presents up-to-date information on population, geography, economy, history, and politics. Aside from that, however, the site presents a lively array of extras that don't figure in the CIA's matter of fact dossiers, things such as audio clips of national anthems and links to current weather reports. As the site itself boasts, through a list of quotes from current reviews, A+ Country Reports is particularly appealing to teachers and younger students, and it's obvious why it's appealing, given its attention to the kinds of details kids demand -- bright graphics, large fonts, and Flash-automated features among them. For those interested in sharing what they have learned or already know, there is also a discussion area and links to sites for further study.
FindTutorials http://www.findtutorials.com/
FindTutorials offers hundreds of tutorials and professional online IT and Softskills training courses that are available for a variety of disciplines and skill levels. In addition, it offers an online e-mail system, an IT job database with thousands of daily updated positions, and a host of additional resources on internet training skills. With simple to use navigational tools and a "sophisticated in-house developed site search", finding information to meet your requirements merely takes the click of a button.

Booknotes (with audio and video) http://www.booknotes.org
Booknotes,
C-SPAN's signature author interview program, has served as a forum for books about history, politics and public affairs for a dozen years. C-SPAN's unedited, commercial-free format, allows for an in-depth discussion with an author distinct from other author interview programs.The format is simple: one author, one book, one hour. For a full hour every Sunday night, fifty-two weeks a year, an author discusses their recently-released work of non-fiction. Beyond the book's subject matter, authors are also queried about the writing process, about how and why they came to write their book and their own lives and influences. Authors may appear on Booknotes only once in their writing career.
The host of the program since its inception is C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb. With over 630 author interviews since 1989 consisting of heads of state, war correspondents, biographers, scholars, generals and peacemakers, Lamb's Booknotes provides a variety of perspectives for its viewers. Guests have included Colin Powell, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Neil Sheehan, Martin Gilbert, Jean Strouse, Betty Friedan, and Henry Louis Gates.
Mr. Lamb is also the author of three collections of Booknotes interviews, the latest of which is Booknotes: Stories from American History.
Writers and journalist have had this to say about the Booknotes program:
In a USA Today article, Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Halberstam called the program "wonderful," adding it "connects serious writers in a highly-civilized way to serious readers out there."C-SPAN, the political network of record, was created in 1979 by America's cable companies as a public service. C-SPAN is currently available in 82 million households, C-SPAN2 in 65 million households, and C-SPAN3 in nearly 4 million households nationwide. For more information about C-SPAN, visit our web site at c-span.org.The Los Angeles Times called the program "unique," stating "Long before Oprah discovered reading and the mass market for books, Brian Lamb was serving up a special kind of journalism that lets writers talk - and talk and talk - with little or no interruption."

An Award Winning Copyright Website
--- http://www.benedict.com/
Includes MP3 Audio, MPEG Video, an online service for obtaining a copyright
for your Website materials, and advice for copyrights of software.
This portal provides real world, practical and relevant copyright information for anyone navigating the net. Launched on May Day '95, the Copyright Website strives to lubricate the machinations of information delivery. As spice is to Dune, information is to the Web; the spice must flow. Or, if you prefer another metaphor, take the blue pill and I'll show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes...
Drafting a Faculty Copyright Ownership Policy http://ts.mivu.org/default.asp?show=article&id=982
Many colleges and universities are either considering ways to revise their existing copyright policies or drafting new policies. A copyright policy encompasses both the use of copyrighted works owned by third parties and the ownership of works generated by faculty, staff and students within an institution. The purpose of an ownership policy should be to encourage research, scholarship and the dissemination of knowledge; thus, the ownership model the school adopts should further this purpose.
I got up earlier than Bob Jensen so you get this email from me instead of the other Bob.
The Web site below is very interesting on several levels.
The site allows one to see a photo album of 800 college campuses.
From time to time I have the opportunity of going to a campus that I have not visited before. This web site allows the chance to "see" the campus before going.
It also shows what some schools are doing to "show off" their institution.
The campus tours site also lists those schools that have web cams, campus maps, videos, and VR tours. Trinity was one of the first to have a VR tour.
Give it a quick look if you like to see what the other guys are doing and look like.
