Intelligent Television has established a new Open Video Studio to cost-effectively produce more video resources for the open education and open content movement.  The objectives of the Studio—based in New York but networking educational production facilities across the United States and abroad—are threefold:

*  to evaluate the use of video in teaching and learning;
*  to catalyze video production for education; and
*  to build new tools—editing, annotation, search—for more cost-efficient video production and distribution.

The Studio has been producing educational video at/for the following institutions—the British Film Institute, Cambridge University, CERN, Columbia University, Georgetown, University George Washington University, Harvard University, Illinois, Library of Congress, MIT, National Academy of Sciences, New York Law School, New York University, Open University, Oxford University, Thirteen/WNET, University of California-Berkeley, and University of Southern California, among others—and has begun to structure and deploy innovative networked studio production capabilities in New York, Berkeley, Cambridge, Champaign-Urbana, and London. 

In addition, the Studio has begun hosting planning and production meetings for educators, technologists, video producers, investors, attorneys, underwriters, and other stakeholders who are helping Intelligent Television articulate a sustainability plan for the studio’s new productions and research and development projects.

In the years ahead, Intelligent Television will deploy the Studio to organize new multi-institutional productions involving consortia of universities, libraries, museums, and production entities, and through such productions build a new and distributed educational video production network.  Through the Studio, Intelligent Television also will help establish a new form of educational video commons and help to define best practices in educational video access and preservation.
