video lit ?

[Lana Perkins <lrp3pl@EAGLE.STARK.K12.OH.US>]

I had a teacher ask me about a curriculum called video lit, perhaps video
literature.  According to him there is some movement towards training
teachers to teach literature through videos without reading the book first.
Has anyone heard anything about this trend.  I don't think it's meant to
replace reading but justifies the use of videos as a means to teach
literature.  I asked if he knew who was behind the movement (could be
vested interest groups), but he didn't have any more information.
Please respond to me personally.
