Dear Valued Client,

We hope you find this information helpful. If you have suggestions or additions please let us know. Please let us know if you have suggestions or feedback for our newsletter by email tlearn@dcccd.edu

As long-time courseware producers with a niche in documentary-style, high-quality educational videos, Dallas TeleLearning has developed a very extensive video collection over the years. Based on client feedback and trends in education, we have spent the past year actively clipping our video into 2-7 minute chunks and building a database and delivery system.

When the repository is complete, subscribers will have access to 2500+ video clips across 12 different academic disciplines. Plus, we'll be adding exercises and activities to the repository, creating a continually growing, robust database of media-rich tools for faculty use in creating and delivering their courses.

Before we open the repository for general use, we are piloting the system with a handful of select institutions and faculty. The pilot is currently running and will continue through the end of the present spring semester.

The repository is scheduled to open for general use via institutional subscriptions in June 2008. When complete, the repository will offer video clips for: U.S. History (to 1877 and Since 1877), Economics (Macro and Micro), General Business, U.S. Government, Sociology, Nutrition, Health, Accounting I and II, and English Composition I and II.

Feel free to contact us for a demonstration of the site, pricing information, and any other questions you might have.
