YoutubeEDU for serious education
Youtube is very synonym with entertainment, humor although there are quite educational channels such as from National Geographic and as well as universities chanel. Now for more serious education videos series, Youtube has introduced YoutTubeEDU, containing videos from various educational field from over 100 universities and colleges all over the world.
Closer look indicate that YouTubeEDU itself is just collection of educational related Youtube channels. This channel produce videos not only for the lecturing sessions, but as well as their own activities, speaches, events and etc. So not all videos under that channel is useful for the non-member of that institutional.
As of now, there are over 20,000 videos on YouTube EDU and the number is growing. Still, there are lots of useful lecture sessions here from well known scholars, but there are also other interesting videos sush as iPhone Orchestra.
Any parties interested to be the YoutubeEDU partners should fill up this form to join in.
I think that this is a great thing for YouTube to do. It can allow for students to get a good description of something that they may have missed in the lesson given by their instructor.
Instructors can also use this to enhance their lesson that they give. Another teacher may have a better way of describing something, so instead of trying to get it just right for their students they can now just hop on YouTube EDU and get the video.
bravo to youtube for the movement
YouTubeEDU is a wonderful opportunity for the students to learn more. It will improves the standard of the education. The video lesson will surely increases the interest of the student towards the particular subject.
