About Education in Video

Education in Video is an international collection of streaming video developed specifically for training and developing teachers. This subscription-based collection includes hundreds of in-classroom videos on key teaching topics and themes from the most respected education publishers worldwide.

While most teachers log a number of hours in teaching clinics and classroom internships, their exposure to a diversity of schools, geographic regions, classroom types, teaching approaches, and student populations is limited. With Education in Video, students can access a diverse array of learning environments. Upon completion, the collection will stand as the most comprehensive video survey of the teaching profession available, including footage of classrooms outside of North America. For information about this collection please contact Alexander Street Press at sales@alexanderstreet.com.

Teaching and Discussion Guides: Many of the videos in this collection include supplementary materials to aid in their use in classroom discussions and assignments. These materials are available as downloadable pdf files.

Research Power: Alexander Street Press has developed a way to combine the excitement of video with the uniquely powerful search capabilities our collections are known for. We've developed software applications that make use of Alexander Street's Semantic Indexing™ to enable precise searching and finding; easy browsing and moving about; citations down to the second; and searchable transcripts. Our video can be shared via embeddable links; user-created playlists and clips, with annotation features and the ability to incorporate other content from outside the collection; and more. These features and capabilities render video as useful for research and classroom use as any scholarly text.

Alexander Street videos feature:

• uniquely powerful browse and search capabilities enabled by ASP's Semantic Indexing™
• multiple points of access—browses, searches, thumbnail images, transcripts—allowing you to find your point of interest in hundreds of hours of video within seconds
• synchronized, searchable transcripts
• video clip-making tools
• annotated playlists—you can make, annotate, and share playlists for course or individual use, and you can include links to materials or resources outside of the collection to make this your one-stop resource
• high quality, licensed, in-copyright material plus other valuable footage
• the ability to create synchronized annotations and multi-media presentations
• an embeddable video player and playlist for use on a class Web site, library home page, or an electronic syllabus—lets you drive usage and deliver content to users where and when they need it without instructions or countless screens and clicks
• streaming, quickly accessible online video at 400 and 800 kbps with no delays and no special equipment (just Flash and a browser)
• Open URL compliance
