Wikimedia - Kaltura Collaboration

2008-01-22 01:10:05        Posted by: ragaman7        Category: Remix Culture

Wikimedia and Kaltura are teaming up for a program that aims to bring rich-media collaboration to Wikipedia and other wiki websites. This speaks specifically to collaboratively created video, audio, animations, slide shows, text and images, and looks to be an extension of the Open Source remixing program that Wikipedia announced about a month ago. Collaborative is key, seeing as this is a program through Wikimedia, and all. And Kaltura is all about collaborative creation as well.

Wikimedia is demoing the program through WikiEducator, an educational wiki that’s hosted by the Commonwealth of Learning. And while WikiEducator isn’t a part of the Wikimedia organization, it is taking advantage of the new program being announced by Wikimedia and Kaltura. You can find more information about the WikiEducator demo here. Wikimedia’s focus on text wikis has been shaping up for some time know, and has become a standard practice to look at when considering the current manifestation of web 2.0 and overall Internet culture. What we’ve seen more recently is a push towards collaborative media–something that took shape in the creative business world and has been applied to larger social networking trends.
