LUTube is the new service at Leeds that will allow staff and students to
share and watch online videos. You can log in and upload your content in
most standard video formats and it will automatically be converted and
optimised for viewing on the web.

LUTube's functionality includes:

Video upload and conversion to Flash format from .wmv, .flv, .mov, .avi,
.mpg/mpeg, .mp4, .3gp, .ogg
Automatically generated embed code allows videos to be displayed on other
sites
Categorise content with tagging, description and copyright information
Comment and reply to other users discussing videos on LUTube
Create, develop and customise your own LUTube channel
Subscribe to other user's channels
Create and join custom groups (coming soon)
Choose to restrict content to logged in users only, faculty, school, module
or selected
individuals or groups (coming soon).
Browse schools and faculties for content (coming soon)
Search for videos by tags, titles and users (coming soon)
Collect selected resources from across LUTube and assemble then in one
location (coming soon)

>>>IMHO This Is A Great Model for Educational Video Services !!!<<<

BTW-1: I am very interested in other Educational U-Tube Implementations (be
they at _U_niversities or _C_olleges or other institutions of _H_igher
Education, or Other _E_ducational Levels).

[I am aware of TeacherTube  [ http://www.teachertube.com/ ]]/

BTW-2: Thanks to Adrian Smith (Leeds) for The HeadsUp !!!
