Compare Best Online Educational Video Website Reviews

Compare the top 14 online education video websites. Teachers and parents identify which service or provider offers a complete online learning solution with support, and which only offers the education video and nothing more

With teachers now better understanding the value of visual learning and the benefits of using educational video as a teaching aid in the classroom, a swarm of online education video services have appeared online, many of which offer only the video and nothing more.

As a result the task for parents, teachers and students of quickly and easily finding a source of educational video developed specifically for teaching the K12 curriculum has now become confusing and time consuming.

The results of a recent survey and review of the top educational video services indicated that the majority of these online education video websites are simply concentrating on the quantity of the videos they are able to offer, rather than providing a quality online learning solution where the educational video has been developed specifically for teaching the K-12 curriculum, and is supported by additional resources including Lesson Plans, online quiz testing and Technical Support.

In preparing this review we asked questions that teachers, parents and students need to know to make an informed decision including:

Are the videos - and content covered in the video, curriculum aligned?
How easily are the videos able to be found?
Are the videos appropriately subtitled to provide equal access for all children and students?
Are online quizzes provided to enable online testing for the material discussed in each video?
Can the quizzes be used repeatedly to ensure fresh questions each time?
Are correct and incorrect answers to each quiz by the student, qualified to ensure the learning process continues?
Are Lesson Plans and additional activities provided to supplement the use of the educational video?
Is Technical Support available?
Can each student's progress be tracked?
Are other resources and tools available to complement the use of the video?
Does the educational video website offer a complete online learning solution, or simply the use of video?
