[p2pu-webcraft] Interactive Open Video with Popcorn.js

[Dan Diebolt]

YouTube just converted to <iframe> embedding earlier this year from the
decade long practice of using nested <object><embed> crud. Posterous [

*Stunning examples of Using jsFiddle on Blog via <iframe>*

<http://andrewwooldridge.com/blog/2011/03/16/stunning-examples-of-using-jsfiddle/>Do
a blog search for jsfiddle:

*Google Blog Search for jsfiddle*
http://www.google.com/search?tbm=blg&q=jsfiddle&num=100

<http://www.google.com/search?tbm=blg&q=jsfiddle&num=100>Even if I were to
buy the argument you should not embed jsFiddle within P2PU (I DON'T) where
would your propose anyone display their jsFiddle? One of the repeated
complaints you hear from learners is that materials are spread all over the
place. If you are going to just provide link off-platfrom it is like
regressing into the days of hypercard and CD based learning system where
every interaction loaded new content.
