1-I'm consolidating all the videos that I used in lessons, posted on my Englishvideotranscripts.com project, with all the transcripts on my hard drive. In the online lesson trenches from 2014 to 2019 I focused more on delivering lessons over posting about what I was doing. I've also just completed a module on Creative Commons licenses through integrating-technology.org last month. That learning, in conjunction with the policies I developed for myself based on Fair Use principles a few years ago, will help me prepare for a next evolution regarding the use of transcripts in ELT.
2-Added the IELTS Topic tag, which helps Academic IELTS test-takers / learners choose videos to build up background knowledge in a specific area e.g. ecology, business, society/family life, transportation, technology, education.
3-Adopted the ACTFL proficiency guidelines instead of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
