[Corpora-List] Conference Proceedings on Youtube or Other Online Media

[Krishnamurthy, Ramesh]

Hi Muhammad

Many talks are already uploaded on youtube, but perhaps not very
systematically, and usually not every presentation from a particular
conference or workshop.

At Aston University, I did try to upload as many of our Aston Corpus
symposium/conference presentations as possible, and materials
from our summer schools. Please see
http://acorn.aston.ac.uk/symposium.html
http://acorn.aston.ac.uk/postgraduate_conference.html
http://acorn.aston.ac.uk/SummerSchool.html

Of course, apart from cost/effort, an additional problem is that the
conference organiser needs to obtain permission from each
speaker/presenter to a) record and b) to publicly distribute
their talks/presentations.

Individual speakers/presenters may also upload their own talks/presentations
to their own websites, or their institutional websites.

However, I feel sure that the practice of online distribution will increase.
There is also the development of MOOCs etc which will increase the amount
of online materials available.

best
Ramesh

Dear Corpora Members
Being a student of linguistics and a member of this mailing list, I receive
a number of conference calls and announcements every week. These
conferences are free as well as paid. Now that Internet and communication
(specially media like Youtube) are so popular and cheap, I was wondering
whether it is possible to provide conference proceedings (key speakers'
addresses etc.) online. The idea must have been there in other minds and I
might be ignorant of appropriate website(s)/ link(s) where some of such
(video/ audio) proceedings are available.
If this becomes possible (at least for free workshops, conferences etc.), I
think it would be a great help for linguistics students and researchers
from less developed countries who cannot travel to destinations world wide
but still feel motivation to listen to key figures speaking at such events.
Regards
