While working on a presentation about "multimedia assignments" for the UD Winter Faculty Institute, I revisited some tools I had played with before. Both of them have added features and just generally got better. First is BubbleShare. This is an online version of PhotoStory 3 or the narrated slide show features of iMovie. You can upload images and then add narration right in the web site. This saves you the trouble of getting the software and of learning how to publish. Second is EyeSpot. This is the online version of iMovie. You can upload video clips and then edit them together in real time. The interface on this has made great strides allowing you to reorder clips and edit them, add transitions and titles, and then mix your video for publication right on the site. You can even pull from the clip libraries that are available on the site. For people who want to get into digital storytelling and publishing to the web, these sites are certainly a no muss - no full way to get started.
