Videoblogs as 'Collective Documentary'

Jon Hoem gave an interesting presentation at BlogTalk 2.0 (slides here, paper here). "Videoblogs can facilitate practices which promote media literacy and collaborative learning through the making of collective documentaries. Videoblogs with wiki-like functions promise to turn users into producing collectives rather than individual consumers of audiovisual content. This paper outline parts of the theoretical and technical framework which is needed in order to design an online environment stimulating collective production of video."
