This handbook is an outcome of the Click and Go Video Project of JISC. 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."

"Video can be a powerful tool for stimulating self-expression and interaction in group development work. Used in a participatory way, video encourages clients to examine the world around them, raising awareness of their situation and helping them to become more actively involved in the decisions which affect their lives. Based on an innovative approach researched over twelve years, Participatory Video offers a comprehensive guide to using video with groups. The book includes over 60 step-by-step exercises, explaining clearly the procedure to follow, time needed and value of each activity. It provides basic information about video equipment and how to operate it, techniques for teaching skills to group members and advice on planning a series of workshops and longer-term video projects. Jackie Shaw and Clive Robertson place the use of video within a coherent theoretical framework and show how to maximise its effectiveness in groups with a range of different needs. Participatory Video will be of particular interest to group leaders looking for new ways to enhance and amplify the group development process. It is aimed at a wide range of professionals, including social workers, youth and community workers, teachers, development educationalists, extension workers, therapists, community artists and video trainers."

Untold Stories: Learning with Digital Stories (UntoldStory), is a project under the European Commission Lifelong Learning Programme focusing on the provision by public libraries and museums of informal learning opportunities for migrant communities in specific regions of four countries (Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany and Greece), through shared Digital Storytelling, utilising the potential of new Web 2.0 technologies. Digital Stories usually entail the creation by an individual or group of a short ‘digital movie’ integrating images, text, and sound with narration. Untold Stories enables individuals and groups from migrant communities to create, store, promote and share Digital Stories which reflect their experiences in their adopted country. The website lists the stories in a repository and also provides a 'Toolbox' with 'Cookbooks' in several languages, which are in fact manuals: 'In order to help you with your digital story, our team has prepared a detailed manual that would guide you through the whole process of digital storytelling. This guide has information that covers the concept of storytelling itself as well as the technical aspects of it: images, sound,video edition, conversion to FlashVideo format.' One of those cookbooks is the English one: http://www.untoldstories.eu/eng/content/download/470/3990/file/COOKBOOK%20EN.pdf
