Open data sharing promises to accelerate the pace of discovery in the
developmental and learning sciences, but significant technical, policy, and
cultural barriers have limited its adoption. As a result, most research on
learning and development remains shrouded in a culture of isolation. Data sharing
is the rare exception (Gilmore, 2016). Many researchers who study teaching and
learning in classroom, laboratory, museum, and home contexts use video as a
primary source of raw research data. Unlike other measures, video captures the
complexity, richness, and diversity of behavior. Moreover, because video is
self-documenting, it presents significant potential for reuse. However, the
potential for reuse goes largely unrealized because videos are rarely shared.
Research videos contain information about participants' identities making the
materials challenging to share. The large size of video files, diversity of
formats, and incompatible software tools pose technical challenges. The Databrary
(databrary.org) digital library enables researchers who study learning and
development to store, share, stream, and annotate videos. In this article, we
describe how Databrary has overcome barriers to sharing research videos and
associated data and metadata. Databrary has developed solutions for respecting
participants' privacy; for storing, streaming, and sharing videos; and for
managing videos and associated metadata. The Databrary experience suggests ways
that videos and other identifiable data collected in the context of educational
research might be shared. Open data sharing enabled by Databrary can serve as a
catalyst for a truly multidisciplinary science of learning.
