Educational Videos, Curated & Rated By Educators


Boclips for Teachers - https://www.boclips.com/teachers - hosts more than two million educational videos from more than 100 vetted video producers.
 
Educators and learners will probably recognise many of the names in the list of videos producers e.g. Crash Course and TED-Ed.

I think that Boclips for Teachers could become a great alternative to displaying YouTube videos in Learning Environments as the vetting of video producers who contribute to Boclips is significant.

When users search in Boclips for Teachers they won't find "related" videos that aren't actually related to their search.

In Boclips for Teachers, users can...
  • search for videos according to keyword. 
  • can put them into a collection in their Boclips account.
NOTE: Boclips doesn't use the YouTube video player like many other educational video sites and that's significant because it means that if your employer, Learning Provider etc., blocks YouTube users will still be able to access all of the content available through Boclips for Teachers.

At the time of posting this, Boclips for Teachers is still in beta.
"As part of that beta Boclips is asking teachers to complete short surveys in exchange for unlimited, lifetime access to the Boclips library."
If you give Boclips for Teachers a try - https://teachers.boclips.com/ - or have already used Boclips for Teachers, do share your feedback, positive and/or negative, in the comments.
 
Thank you.
