Here's the main point: "The endless production of video content is a distraction from... the need to develop more social, interactive and engaging digital spaces that can complement the campus spaces." There's no reason why you can't do both; that's how we ended up with "millions of videos, from short instructions to long lectures." Yes, academics shouldn't be editing them - but at the same time, isn't this a treasure trove of content that could be edited, maybe by real video editors, or maybe by students? Yes - it's true that "academics aren't content creators" - but they're also not community organizers, nor even very good instructors. I argued long ago that the role of the educator needs to be unbundled. Doesn't this prove it?
