Facts
on File
These online databases include a collection of reference
data and information presented in a clear and organized
framework which allows for powerful searching and customization
capabilities. Databases for History, Multicultural,
Science, Health, Career Guidance and Geography are included.
In addition a Curriculum Resource Center includes visual
reference materials for over 25 topics. This is included
in the Instructional Media Services but is available
to non Media contracting districts for $225/campus/year.
A special discount of $50/campus/year is available for
campuses contracting for Video Streaming.
Video Streaming
This is a web-based digital video delivery system that
allows you to download digital videos on demand from
the Internet. Once you download them you can show
them to the students on your computer connected to
a TV with a scan converter or on a projection screen
using an LCD projector. Another option is to put
the video on the students' computers in a lab or
classroom and let them open them up on their own
computers.
