MultiMedia

After we added the first YouTube video on this site we had an email from Dan Moorhouse saying ‘Warbeck video – fantastic! Additional stuff on using video – there’s ..... and then there’s .... ’.

Then Dan Lyndon said ‘Have I mentioned the video of my Living Essays?’

It's clear that the use of these MultiMedia techniques is going to grow and grow – so we’ve set up a page of its own for examples, links and discussions!

At the moment, these are mostly links to other people's material - but we hope to add more of our own when time permits.
