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.
