What is FMG Video On Demand?

 

FMG Video On Demand is a digital video delivery environment for educators and their students. You can use its built-in features and functions to identify the right content, organize it to meet your teaching objectives, and then deliver it digitally in either a classroom setting or for individual viewing by students.

 

Benefits to Educators

 

• Always “on”! You can view, search, or organize your digital content whenever it’s convenient for you.

• Helps you bring key concepts to life. Inspire your students with full-motion, visual media that is effective and engaging, and provide clarity and in-depth explanations with real-life examples on hard-to-explain issues and theories.

• Gives you access to the full-length video as well as predefined learning objects and provides you with the ability to create custom learning objects to meet your needs.

• Allows you to create personalized playlists, perfect for sharing pre-selected video learning objects with your students. No longer do you need to cue up your video tapes to a specific segment for classroom viewing.

 

Benefits to Students

 

• Promotes both individual study and collaboration activities in the classroom. With personalized playlists viewable on students’ own time or in class with other students, each experience can be tailored to a student’s needs.

• Addresses the visual learning style of today’s students who readily glean information from dynamic images of sound and video.

• Provides an effective resource for self-paced instruction, remediation, and reference. Students can replay selected learning objects as many times as they need to understand the concepts being taught.
