DVDs for teaching internet/new media studies
Does anyone have any suggestions for recent DVDs that could be used in teaching internet studies or new media studies classes? There are a few that I use ("IRL," "Virtual Worlds: Inside Online Games," aka "Avatars Online"... I think that's right) that are getting a bit dated, although are still great. I am coming up with a list of more recent ones for my university's library to order. Thanks in advance! Holly Kruse Faculty of Communication The University of Tulsa 800 S.

Hi Holly, I recently ordered a few new media titles from the Insight Media catalogue for the library, but haven't used them in class.

Dear Holly, I find watching short films sometimes very useful because it reaches diverse learning types (audio- and visual). For my last course (on Open Access, Open Content, Open Source, Open Media) last semester we watched parts of "steel this film" (http://www.stealthisfilm.com) and "us now" (http://www.usnowfilm.com/) which includes statements of e.g. Clay Shirky, Don Tapscott (and many others - no insult!). Both films go beyond mere "new media studies". Good thing: no bothering about legal issues of public viewing. I am looking forward to hearing about other films, in particular for introductory courses to new media studies or information society research.

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.
