Intelligent Television

Intelligent Television produces innovative films, television, and online video; conducts research in the future of media; and provides strategic planning and consulting services, all in close association with leading cultural and educational institutions and renowned directors and cinematographers — and all to make educational and cultural material more widely accessible worldwide.

The South

Intelligent Television, Alexandria Productions, Insignia Films, and PBS are producing an epic television, education, and library project on the American South in the 20th century. This project draws upon the work of historians and scholars who link the power of traditional storytelling with new advances in media, information technology, humanities computing, library science, and the digitization of primary documents.

Works in progress:

The Open Education Video Studio

Intelligent Television has begun to establish a new Open Education 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.

Strategic consulting

Audio-Visual Conservation at The Library of Congress

Located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Culpeper, Virginia, the Library's newly completed Packard Campus of the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center provides underground storage for this entire collection on 90 miles of shelving, together with extensive modern facilities for the acquisition, cataloging and preservation of all audio-visual formats. The Library has contracted Intelligent Television to provide strategic planning guidance organizing events for the 2010 public opening of this facility.

Tools to explore

Video Interactions for Teaching and Learning (VITAL) is a web-based learning environment that enables students to view, analyze, and communicate ideas with video. VITAL was originally created to help students practice their observation and interpretation skills in developmental psychology courses at Columbia University’s Teachers College. Today VITAL is deployed in a wide range of courses and disciplines across Columbia University, from the School of Social Work to the School of the Arts.
