This page features short, creator-led walkthroughs of selected AVAnnotate projects. In these videos, project authors introduce their research questions, demonstrate how they structured their annotations, and reflect on the methodological decisions behind their work. Together, these presentations illustrate the range of scholarly and pedagogical applications supported by AVAnnotate.
