Medianotes and other ways to video annotation

Opencast has a ³simple² (I haven¹t tried it) annotation add on in their
product. I also have a ³simple² annotation feature in our streaming videos.
Ours would be easy to integrate on top of any video delivery platform as its
simple javascript (and javascript can control flash/quicktime/windows media)
so you could easily borrow the basics to roll your own.

We have one professor who uses ours religiously and likes it. Its not as
fancy as media notes, but it works for our needs.

You can take the javascript code by just looking at the source of one of our
cali videos from the 2010 conference.

Hope to see everyone in a few months!

P.s. After a 68 degree day on Friday, we just got another 5 inches of snow!
