Leeds Media Services complete work on new Ethics in Computing video
"Ethics in Computing: What Price Freedom?" is now available to view online. Leeds Media Services filmed, edited and provided the visual effects for the video which was produced for the Inter-disciplinary Ethics Applied centre at the University of Leeds.
This video introduces a number of important ethical issues raised by Free Software. Featuring exclusive interview footage with Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, it explores the claims made by proponents of Free Software such as the following. What is free software, and what kind of freedoms does it claim to preserve? How important are these freedoms (if they are important)? What is at stake in the decisions of students and programmers about the licence terms under which they make their software available. What is at stake in the decisions of companies, schools, universities, and large organisations in their choice of software? Do the claims of the free software movement depend on a rejection of intellectual property? It also explores how successful the campaign for free software has been (and the success of GNU/Linux), and what challenges remain.
Leeds Media Services film the Gatsby Plants Summer School Lectures 2010
Leeds Media Services provided filming and editing services to the Gatsby Plants Summer School. Six plenary lectures were filmed and will be provided online for viewing by registered users of the Gatsby Plants website. The speakers are all world-class plant scientists at the cutting-edge of research in their area. Their task will be to challenge students to new ways of thinking about the humble plant. From how science can contribute to sustainable food production to the global impact of stomatal pores, students will be encouraged to think about plants from every angle.
The Gatsby Plants Summer School aims to bring together 80 high-achieving 1st year undergraduates with leaders in the field of plant science research. In the relaxed setting of Hawkhills, home to the Emergency Planning College, students will be challenged with new ways of thinking about plants and will discover why plant science research remains crucial for our future.
