Streaming video is a powerful teaching tool.
It allows students to learn and teachers to teach in ways not possible with text alone.
"I think that streaming video has really opened up a whole new way of teaching."
With today's students, streaming video is the key to keeping them engaged.
Besides presentations such as Powerpoint lectures, 15 minutes of streaming video can help students
learn, supporting what the teacher is demonstrating.
"We have teaching sessions that are 50 minutes long, so really time is an issue."
"There is nothing to compare with the students' own interpretation of, for instance, that
writer's performance, that writer's persona, so that you understand the very voice of that
writer."
"Moving to the stream means that eventually the world of research has finally caught up
to the 21st century."
With streaming video, unlimited numbers of patrons can watch any title anywhere, at any
time. "The stream is a way to make it ubiquitous
for our students, our users, our teachers -- everybody to have access when they think
of something." And Alexander Street Press collections are
available for mere dollars per title. Over the years, we have become known for making
silent voices heard finding compelling, unique content for use in the classroom.
"The performances, the documentaries that are listed in the Alexander Street Press catalog
are undoubtedly what I am always looking for and it's very hard to find some of these programs
elsewhere."
With over 23,000 videos today, there's something for everyone. And 3,000 of our titles cannot
be found anywhere else. At Alexander Street Press, we've worked with
faculty and read countless syllabi. We understand the curricula across campus and match our
collections to meet them. "Professors need to trust the curator of the
collection to do the vetting of the material." Our largest collection, Academic Video Online,
provides valuable video titles for every single faculty member on your campus in one central
place. Academic Video Online is growing by more than
7,000 titles annually, so there's always something new to discover and share with your class.
"If we can tie into more of what's seen and what's heard, not just what a person has written
on the box or the film can." The hallmark of every Alexander Street Press
collection is its Semantic Indexing. Our team of librarians, indexers and subject-matter
experts comb through the material, indexing for over 160 fields of information. Before
they even choose a single video, students learn about their subjects while they are
searching.
You can ask your students to do much more than just superficial searches.
Alexander Street provides many other video features that make it easy to teach, learn,
and share, including interactive transcripts to follow along.
"For school, I really do love using Alexander Street Press."
"For a group presentation, if I was trying to do something like this, it would take me
an hour just to explain how to use a cutting tool in Finalcut or Adobe. Whereas I can literally
just point to a pair of scissors and say press this button."
All of our titles can be custom clipped and combined to create presentations and playlists
for use in many settings. "It's very easy to use. I could probably show
my mom or dad how to do that." Playlists, clips, citations, and more can
also be exported for use in other platforms. All our content can be embedded into syllabi,
presentations, or LibGuides, either directly or via links and annotations. Share content
with classmates, your institution or the whole world.
Our entire interface is also available in 65 languages, making it easy for anyone, anywhere
to use. Streaming video is a valuable resource for
research, teaching, and learning. At Alexander Street Press, we take valuable content and
pair it with powerful tools and resources to give it a voice. Come see for yourself.
