“All higher education instructors have been there – you are happily cruising along in class, lecturing, discussing, engaging, whatever your milieu, and suddenly the theme from the Exorcist is emanating from someone’s pocket, purse, backpack, or from right on top of their desk. You have become the victim of disruptive technology in the classroom… One solution to dealing with this phenomenon is to strictly and sternly ban all portable electronic communication devices from the classroom and to react swiftly and mercilessly the first time someone dares to cross that boundary.

The site is in Beta. But we think there’s enough there to show why we’re so excited about this. Because the goal is to allow any teacher to take a video of their choice (yes, any video on YouTube, not just ours) and make it the heart of a “lesson” that can easily be assigned in class or as homework, complete with context, follow-up questions and further resources.
