Welcome to the
EduTubePlus project
“A European curriculum related video library and hybrid e-services for the pedagogical exploitation of video in class”
The EduTubePlus project aims to develop a European hybrid, multilingual video-based service for schools.
The EduTubePlus service will integrate thousands of multi-lingual curriculum-related video-clips provided by major European educational video providers with several useful tools. These tools will enable educators to enrich the library with their own user-generated clips, to develop, translate and share video-based learning scenarios and lessons and to search using terms related to their national curriculum. The EduTubePlus service will also provide suggestions and resources to enable teachers to successfully utilise video in their classes.
The EduTubePlus project is co-funded under the European eContentPlus programme,
a multiannual Community programme to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable.
The 2.5-year EduTubePlus project (9/2008–2/2011),
proposed by a Consortium of 17 European organizations and companies and led by the Research Academic Computer Technology Institute (GR),
has a budget of € 4.6 million to create the conditions that will facilitate the co-existence, the use and the exchange of curriculum-related digital video-clips provided by Educational TVs & video producers, and of video and video-based pedagogical resources (learning activities) generated by pupils and teachers, in order to meet emerging learning needs and innovative practices at school level.

The EduTubePlus project addresses an opportunity for the educational school community (schools, teachers, pupils and policy makers), as well for the educational TV and video market and the Educational Technology market that emerges by
adapting, extending and effectively integrating existing technical solutions knowledge and best practices
from various domains and markets, taking advantage of their strengths and eliminating their weaknesses.
As foreseen, this effective merge will create innovative practices for meeting learning needs in schools and innovative content-based services
