In traditional educational and cultural institutions, text often remains the predominant educational tool. However, there is no denying the enourmous potential and effectiveness of video for educational purposes. The video resource is now abundant on the Web, and only in part recognised for the quality tool that it is.
An interesting example is the area of conferences, which before the Internet were often totally ignored and not accessible to most people. With a phenomenon such as Ted Talks, the content of lectures is made available to the general public, with some remarkable content produced by organizing short lectures by experts, authors, and specialists on a wide variety of topics, which are now available on YouTube, for example.
The effectiveness of tutorial videos is extraordinary, for learning anything from the most complex software procedures to cooking recipes.
Content curation can make the abundant resource of online videos available to institutions such as schools and libraries still limited to text.
Artificial Intelligence can support the enhancement of video resources in many ways: searching for footage on the Web, written summaries of content, translating content, analyzing and breaking it down into chapters.
