Quick Research About Video on Demand:

  • In an independent research study, 1400 elementary/middle school students were seen to show an increase in their performance by 12.6 percentage points compared [with] the control group.
  • Using video is a key component of the Viewing and Representation Strand of the TAKS for secondary students (grades 6-12).
  • SAISD Spotlight on Digital Curriculum.
  • Teachers can get the video and save it onto their computer and then have access to it later (they can also save it to CD-ROM). It is also easier for teachers to show select clips instead of the whole video.
  • Schools can add their own video collections to the same system for teachers to access, providing they own the digital rights to the content.
