Video Resources
While instructors can create their own videos, DVC's Media Service Department houses media to be displayed within classroom settings on campus. For web-based delivery of videos, instructors should seek out websites that host those videos because of the copyright restriction of converting our own catalog of video for web-based delivery. Below is a short, but growing list of useful sites to review when seeking content for classes.
PBS Video - This site now houses a large catalog of PBS videos from its large host of programs. Once at pbs.org, click on the link for Programs to start your review or search for a specific title/subject with their search option.
For example, here's a link to Frontline's show titled Poisoned Waters. Just below the video, notice that there are small rectangles that serve as chapter headings within this 17-part video where the user can skip around within the video.
Ambrose Video - "Ambrose Video is a leading producer of educational documentaries for the Middle School, Secondary and College marketplaces. We have an extensive library of award-winning materials, in social studies, literature, fine arts and the sciences."
Edustream.org - This is a new organization that DVC just joined giving us access to their video catalog. Access to this site is based on individual accounts and this procedure will be worked out within September. We can also upload our own videos to stream, but these would need to be captioned and this process and DVC procedures have not yet been established.
