On youtube I also really like Vi Hart and Brainscoop (Emily Graslie of the Chicago Field Museum). I realize, though, that the videos they make take a lot of effort to produce something interesting to watch. At the University of Leicester we've just rolled out "lecture capture" so all my teaching is automatically recorded. And I am using the ExplainEverything app to present and record my teaching, which is more blackboard-style than Death by Powerpoint. But recording a lecture in a classroom doesn't normally make for an accessible, interesting video. When I saw what FutureLearn produced after we shot a few scenes for the Monitoring Climate from Space MOOC, I started to understand how much time and energy goes into producing a high-quality video. I admire the results of high-quality DIY efforts even more now that I appreciate better what it takes to do a good job.
