Clipper
Clipper aims to fill a gap in the toolset of those who use online audio-visual media for education and research. Clipper will allow users to identify, create, tag, mix, and manage clips from within online audio-visual resources as well as the ability to add their own textual notes.
Current video web services make users dependant on the service providers to access and manage their chosen resources as well as their own user-generated content. Clipper aims to redress this situation by providing the option to manage and manipulate online audio-visual content both locally on the users desktop as well as on the web. The project shall also provide a web service demonstrator version of the tool to illustrate sharing and collaboration possibilities. The project outputs will be made openly available for reuse and further development by the community under an OSI approved licence. The outcomes of the project will benefit the community as a whole in understanding how to use these kinds of tools in new and innovative ways in education and research.
