e.g. lecture capture, 'flipping', demonstration, short clips, podcasting, audio feedback on assessment

There are a number of social media sites that revolve around video content. This might include user generated content or professionally produced content that is shared openly with users, in which cases it is possible that some filtered use content may also be added. These sites can be great ways to learn and gain information (or giggles) from the content available, but they can also offer you a chance to share your own skills, expertise and talents.

Clipping videos

What media are students allowed to use?

Basically students can use anything in assessed work without worrying about copyright, however, after it's assessed it cannot be used in any other way (as part of a portfolio for example) without breaking copyright laws. See: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/Library/copyright/using-materials.shtml

Cost

The user driven sites tend to be free, but may charge for some premium features.

While some of the professionally driven sites are free, others will charge a subscription fee.
