The Global Classroom on YouTube EDU
Thursday, October 1, 2009
Class is back in session at
YouTube EDU
(youtube.com/edu). We're excited to welcome many new college and university partners and a few enhancements that will help you discover the wealth of educational material that they provide.
The open educational video movement is a worldwide phenomenon. That's why we're proud to announce that YouTube EDU now includes universities from the UK, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, and Israel.
Cambridge University
,
Open University
,
Bocconi University
and
Open University of Catalonia
are among the 45 new additions who've opened their doors to a global audience of students, teachers, alumni, and self-learners.
Meanwhile, the number of colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada now participating in YouTube EDU tops 200 -- 2x what we launched with six months ago -- providing more than 40,000 videos of lectures, news, and campus life. Recent highlights include an
Art & Technology
lecture series from Columbia University and the seminal course
"Justice"
from Harvard.
Now that YouTube EDU is international, we are introducing a language menu so you only receive videos that you understand. In other words, if your YouTube EDU language
i
s set to English, you will only see YouTube EDU videos in English, be they from American, British or other schools. Viewers with the French language setting can enjoy videos from
HEC Paris
, as well as those from French-Canadian
University of Montreal
. You can change the language of YouTube EDU videos at any time or even set languages to All for the full spectrum.
With so many videos to choose from, we are also providing the ability to browse by subjects such as Business, Engineering, and Literature. This is English-only for now, but look for it to expand to other languages as more universities come on board.
Happy learning!
