Deep Tagging is the latest video editing technology which enables users to select an instant of the video and tag it. This revolutionary technology not only allows the users to find exactly what they are looking for, but also save their time significantly and improves the search results dramatically. Users can reach the relevant content using keywords, annex documents, outline.

Why is this topic relevant to teaching, learning or creative expression?

• Large media files can only be direct referenced in their entirety- being able to link directly to a "clip" within an audio, video, (flash?) file can open doors for not only connecting directly to relevant information, but perhaps a suite of tools that can allow remixing or archiving of media clips. • Adding tagging can better help organize and annotate information in a social software environment. • Enables searching within media (eg audio, video) – user can go directly to the topics they want – similar to a book index • Allows user to co-create content via annotation of media •	Makes using media as an instructional tool more efficient – to date streaming media is more time consuming than print media to ‘read’ • Allows time based media to be more granular which facilitates the ease of reuse online - parts and fragments of larger things can easily be reassembled into different contexts, just as we do with tagging of small things like blog posts now • Allows for the development of new academic forms, for example video and audio libraries which can be tagged by individuals so that the material can be remixed and viewed /used on the basis of these tags.

Examples

Although the technology to support deep tagging has been in development since 2006, we were not able to find any educational examples of deep tagging (repositories, course materials, etc.). The following examples are software tools that can tag within video or other media. •	MIT Lecture Browser http://web.sls.csail.mit.edu/lectures/ •	MIT develops lecture search engine to aid students http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2007/lectures-tt1107.html •	IT Conversations link to excerpt http://www.gardnercampbell.net/blog1/?p=610
