Abstract

This paper supplements prior findings on characteristics of adult users of online video sharing site, as part of a larger survey research. Of 1,007 survey participants, 324 provided 486 responses to open-ended questions asking how to improve YouTube for educational purposes. Responses were grouped into five categories: 17% addressed access and availability; 12% sought improved video and audio quality; 26% lamented the poor educational quality of existing content or suggested ways to improve educational content; 31% provided suggestions for new features; and 31% discussed issues of searchability emphasizing the need for child-safe access. With survey participants from 27 different countries, we conclude that 1) integration of video into instruction goes beyond content search; 2) video-sharing sites differ from other user-generated content, such as a wiki; and 3) the non-social nature of YouTube users suggested alternative views of a social networking site.
