Click and Go Video was a project from 2000 to 2002 that aimed to provide "a user orientated resource for the academic community that will stimulate and enhance the use of moving image archives for mainstream learning and teaching. It will investigate and report on best practice in developing a video enriched learning environment through the integration of archived moving images, locally produced video, Web resources and asynchronous and synchronous communications tools."

A paper about getting the most educational value out of viewing videos in the classroom and providing special attention to evaluation. Including useful guidelines for pre-activity, activity, and post-activity: how to implement video practically, time-wise and goal-oriented into a lesson plan. "Video is an educational media with a foremost place in current and future education, even in the context of growing interest in ‘interactive multimedia’. Through thoughtful planning, video instruction can be used to promote ‘interactive’ learning, in the best sense of the word – the sense of active learning described in this article. Videos can be used to help promote student curiosity, speculation and intellectual engagement. They can help promote group learning discussions and activities allowing learners to use knowledge they already have and higher-order cognitive skills required to extend their knowledge. In combination with other instructional strategies, videos can allow learners to make their own input into learning experiences and to realize the personal importance of learning itself. It is up to the teacher to develop processes and circumstances to get the most ‘interactive learning’ value from video and to help bring the video experience into the real world of the student as learner."
