Coincident TV (CTV) is transforming the way interactive video content is created, consumed and monetized. Coincident TV enables immersive “hypervideo” experiences – the real-time integration of online video with social media, weblinks and transactions. The Coincident TV software suite allows content creators and distributors to easily design, manage and measure interactive video engagements across all digital platforms, including both HTML5 and Flash.
Example:

Again, think of the possibilities here for education…especially on a wall-sized, iPad-like, interactive, multi-touch chalkboard!

Combining social networking with studying, Grockit encourages academic success through peer interaction
Aiming to engage students who are multitasking with different forms of technology, companies are creating collaborative learning spaces online where students can help one another solve homework problems and study—all while building important 21st-century skills.
One such social-networking study site is Grockit, which currently offers test-prep services and is expanding its focus to include math and English for students in grades 8-12, with history and science soon to follow. Grockit has opened enrollment for a free Summer Enrichment Academy, which is designed to keep students from falling behind during summer vacation as they participate in collaborative group study forums online.

HTML 5: Why should we care? What might this specification give us?

- HTML5 differences from HTML4 — W3C
- HTML5 — W3C
Abstract: This specification defines the 5th major revision of the core language of the World Wide Web: the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). In this version, new features are introduced to help Web application authors, new elements are introduced based on research into prevailing authoring practices, and special attention has been given to defining clear conformance criteria for user agents in an effort to improve interoperability. - A Preview of HTML 5 — from A List Apart
HTML 5 introduces and enhances a wide range of features including form controls, APIs, multimedia, structure, and semantics.
…
As evidenced by the various Flash-based media players, authors are interested in providing their own custom-designed user interfaces, which generally allow users to play, pause, stop, seek, and adjust volume. The plan is to provide this functionality in browsers by adding native support for embedding video and audio and providing DOM APIs for scripts to control the playback. The newvideoandaudioelements make this really easy. Most of the APIs are shared between the two elements, with the only differences being related to the inherent differences between visual and non-visual media. - HTML 5 Glossary — from the HTML5Doctor.com
- HTML 5 Could Challenge Flash: New browser technologies may reduce the need for Adobe’s ubiquitous plug-in.
