NEW RESEARCH RESOURCE!
An AMAZING new multi-media research resource, FILMS ON DEMAND

• Immediate Access Over 6000 Educational Film Resources
• It's like a peer-reviewed version of YouTube!

Films On Demand is a state-of-the-art streaming video platform that makes it easier than ever to incorporate outstanding educational programs from Films Media Group into online lesson plans, distance learning courseware, and library catalog systems.

Streaming technology allows you to access high quality video content via the Internet. Instead of downloading an entire video file before viewing it, streaming allows you to begin viewing the video immediately while the rest of the program downloads in the background. Using a computer with a high-speed Internet connection, you can stream videos from any location.

Video Subject Areas Covered Include:

• Humanities & Social Sciences
• Business & Economics
• Science & mathematics
• Health & Medicine
• Technical Education
• Family & Consumer Sciences
• Careers & Job Search
• Guidance & Counseling

Films on Demand's programs are aligned with state and national standards using EdGate's (a company that specializes in correlating educational content) comprehensive Curriculum Matrix-a remarkable engine that includes nearly 500,000 standards and benchmarks. Accurate and reliable, EdGate's Curriculum Matrix is used by educators to set the standard for standards correlation.

• View pre-defined segments from each program
• Create personal playlists to assemble full-length videos and/or segments into a classroom presentation or to share with students for out-of-class viewing
