Resources for Curating Video Collections and Creating Custom Courses A good video can be a powerful way to help students understand new concepts or refresh their knowledge of a topic. Thanks to YouTube, Vimeo, and oodles of other sites, we can now find instructional videos for just about anything. The challenge isn’t locating videos—but keeping track of the ones that help students the most. Making playlists in YouTube is one strategy, but there are better options. OpenEd, a free site launched in October, claims to be the world’s largest educational resource catalog. Once you’re a registered OpenEd user—it takes less than 30 seconds—you can create courses and playlists of videos and other content in the site’s directory. Teachem, following the popular TED-Ed model, allows users to pull YouTube videos into online courses, which can be made public or private. Public Teachem courses can be accessed by anyone with the course URL. Teachem also allows for collaborative course creation.
