[Air-L] DVDs for teaching internet/new media studies

[Tama Leaver]

Hi Holly et al,

They're not DVDs, but rather free downloads, but the BBC released all of the
raw interview footage from _The Virtual Revolution_ series they did.  The
clips feature a lot of the important figures from the development of the
Internet and Web, from Vint Cerf and Tim Berners-Lee through to good talking
head moments with researchers such as Clay Shirky and danah boyd.  The clips
are great quality and are released under the the BBC's equivalent of an
Attriubtion, Non-Commerical, Share-Alike license.  The clips are all here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/virtualrevolution/interviews.shtml  I've used one of
the Berners-Lee clips so far this semester and it was well received.

Cheers,
Tama
