"[Academic Video Online and PBS] delivers video titles spanning the widest range of subject areas including anthropology, business, counseling, film, health, history, music, and more. Curated for the educational experience, the massive depth of content and breadth of content-types (such as documentaries, films, demonstrations, etc.) makes this database a useful resource for faculty and students alike."
Films on Demand (FOD) provides access to over 35,000 videos that cover subjects from all major disciplines. The films are from credible producers such as National Geographic, Nova, Cengage Learning, BBC, and many others. These films are great resources for on campus and online classes, for individual student research, or to help students supplement their learning.
Additionally, FOD allows instructors to create playlists and link in Moodle.
