Personally, I really love the way YouTube handles the comments:

You can scroll down (even when having the video in full screen mode) and directly see the comments under the video. I feel this would greatly reduce the effort to create a new comment. Instead of having to go back to the video overview grid, click on "comments" and then create the comment, one could just scroll down to see the comments and to also create one.

A few more notes:

  • Different form YouTube, we should continue to have the LaTeX support in such a comment section. Basically, we could completely take the comment page we have so far and put it under the respective video.
  • Wikipedia did it, we should do it do: limit the width of the comment section. Otherwise, one writes sentences over the whole screen (as is right now), which is really hard to read.
  • The "comment" link in the video overview grid (where one sees all videos of a lecture), could point to an anchor link that opens the respective video, pauses it and scrolls down to the comment section.
  • With this new way of having comments more center to the user experience and more connected to the videos itself (from a UI standpoint), we could maybe have a new way of connecting annotation tool notes and the comments.
