Grilo abstracts the location of the actual video feeds, which could then be stored on Youtube, some local streaming server, on a network share, usb storage,... anywhere, this would provide quite a lot of flexibility to teachers. Also, activity developers would not have to care about where the video file really is. Teachers would be able to organize the contents they are interested in so that this multimedia content can be browsed easily both by teachers and students. Also, teachers would be able to add metadata to the video files (again, no matter where the actual file lives), like summaries of the contents, hints to understand the video, additional work or other related content. All this information could then be grabbed by an activity and present it to the student appropriately, enriching the learning experience. Iago </blockquote></div>
