Education Portal

Update: Education Portal is now www.study.com and their resources are no longer free. In order to access their full selection of videos, you will need to pay for a monthly membership. You can view the first few minutes of each video free as a preview.

Education Portal is a wonderful collection of free online video resources that's growing everyday. They have a group of over 24 college instructors who have put together videos with animation, drawings/paintings, and photos to teach students various subjects from history to literature. At the end of each 10-minute video, the student has the option of taking a short quiz and can even access a transcript of the video.The videos are in order and take a logical progression through any given subject, giving the students the chance to build on what they've previously learned. Most of the material is at a GED level or above, so it would be great for those students who are preparing to attend college after they graduate. This way they can get a preview of the subject matter they will be learning, and it can help them on the GED test at the same time!

To watch a sample video from their US History course on the social and economic impacts of the Revolutionary War, visit the following link:

Out of all of the websites that I have visited that include educational videos, the organization, subject matter, and professionalism of these videos make it, in my opinion, one of the best.

Don't forget to share your comments with us after you give it a try. We'd love to hear how you and your students utilize the material!
