What’s better than finding a great video for your online class? A video that has already been closed captioned.
Films On Demand
Homepage of Films On Demand
Films On Demand contains thousands of educational videos (31,329 titles and growing) that are professionally closed captioned. They range from short clips to full-length documentaries.
Many of the videos are divided into segments, which are the video version of chapters of a book. It’s a convenient way to break up a long video into shorter sections for your students or assign just a portion of a longer video.
On Demand videos can be easily placed into an eLearning@UNG (D2L) online class module.
