- Wikipedia Meets YouTube

Nibipedia is the result of matching Wikipedia entries to YouTube videos.

Here is how it works...

• search for a video
• while you're watching that video you will see links to related Wikipedia content as well as more related videos.

Nibipedia could be a great research resource for learners. The matching of video to text can help to make difficult concepts more accessible to some learners. If your learners are struggling to choose a research topic that interests them, let them explore Nibipedia for a while and see if that sparks an interest.

Nibipedia allows viewers to enrich a video presentation by adding links to related information in the Wikipedia online encyclopedia. The links, called "nibs," are stored in the software's database and presented to viewers in a timeline, or "nibstream," tied to the video. Nibipedia's unique approach to displaying web video was born from a desire on the part of the developers to allow web users to use new social media content to share their knowledge with other webizens interested in the same material.

The Nibipedia database contains metadata and links to more than 1000 educational videos and users have added more than 4000 nibs to related Wikipedia material.
