IMARK Lesson 10: Online Video and Image sharing


Audiovisual materials are of great value for knowledge sharing, education and information.
Digital images and digital video present many advantages to the user: they can be easily transferred to a computer, edited with basic software and shared in different formats, sizes and levels of quality.
Video sharing services allow users to upload short videos and offer features such as the possibility to embed video in web pages, rate and comment on videos, subscribe to video channels or send video replies. Image sharing allows users to easily upload digital images to the web and organize them in albums, groups or clusters according to their preferences. Image hosting services include different features, from sharing photos with friends to printing and getting prints delivered by mail.
Video and photo collections can be very strategic for an organization or a project. Images and video can be used to create engagement with the audience, create participation in a group and keep a digital record of activities that can be easily shared. When working with digital images and video it is important to keep in mind the technical issues that may arise including bandwidth, equipment, software, processing power and others.
