Hi:
Thx Pharos! I'd be eager to help here - and for now second SJ's nomination of an
MIT Open Coursweare clip from the physics classroom.
It'd be great to see if all the tools are in place to harvest Nielsen-type info like
how many plays the featured motion picture gets as well as # of page views etc. That info
will help more people make the case to put their institutions' educational videos in
under these kinds of liberal licenses.
