I had a look at the OERProject YouTube channel[1] (which it turns out _is_ freely licensed—at least for some videos, as pointed out in another comment here[2]). But the thing that bothers me so often about video content is a dearth of sources cited. We can start out small potatoes: simple attribution—okay, great, your video is CC-BY-SA, but where did you get the still that you used @x:29 into the video? From there, though, what I'd like to see is Wikipedia-style sourcing, or, failing that, where all major inflection points in the video come with at a minimum a sort of "See more" block of links that you can use to dive further into the topic. Not only is it the right thing to do, it would be a tremendous boon to teaching the fundamentals of scholarship, which students already have dedicated classes for, to learn e.g. how to write research papers and discriminate between reliable and unreliable sources. What these videos do, on the other hand, is to say, "Hey, you know all that stuff that you're learning in your writing class? It's all bullshit—after all, look at us; we're actually a part of a professional publishing pipeline, and we don't do anything like that." 1. <https://www.youtube.com/c/OERProject https://www.youtube.com/c/OERProject> 2. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32338460 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32338460>
