Open Video Sprint London - *#ovforum* http://
<http://ovlondon.xmlab.org>ovlondon.xmlab.org <http://ovlondon.xmlab.org>
April 18-20, 2013, MS Stubnitz
Contact: openvideo at xmlab.org

The workshop / course sprint facilitated by Mick Fuzz from FLOSS Manuals
is part of the international Open Video series launched with the Open 
Video Forum in 2012. The current version of the course, created at a 
Berlin sprint last year, is part of the School of Open, a collaboration
between Creative Commons and P2P University.

*Course:*https://p2pu.org/en/groups/a-look-at-open-video/
*xm:lab report:*http://ovf.xmlab.org
*Blog:*https://imc.li/143ix

Our goal is to produce an introductory course for *open video*  in the
areas of end-user technologies (viewing, encoding, editing,  subtitling
etc) and developer tools (transcoding, web applications,  developing for
mobile devices). 

This  course will be published as an OER (open educational resource). It
will  promoted specifically as part of the Mokolo project supporting
film and  developer networks in Africa, for example the recent Open
Video Sudan  event.

As the course is openly licensed it will be available for widespread use.

what we can do)

video and lots of new subject knowledge
* P2p education is perhaps the most significant change in the way
(higher) education is organized - let's make it work


*Background Info:*
A *course sprint*  is a way of rapidly creating and testing teaching
resources. It is  based on the work of Adam Hyde on Book Sprints and is
one of FLOSS  Manuals tools of rapid, collaborative content creation.
Course sprints are a  space for participants to learn from each other,
find synergies in our  knowledge, and in the process, create innovative
online learning  resources.

We will use the Book Type software to immediately print materials from
our online workspace at the end of the sprint.
