The Films on Demand subscription of Atkins library
- Benefits:
- provides access to over ten thousand streaming videos.
- including world languages:
- Remaining Problems:
- 741 titles for World languages is not a lot (additional materials may be applicable to language learning, but I do not see the most commonly requested foreign language films used in the department which we are currently trying to rescue across the demise of VHS). Any particular silo of information is not comprehensive (given the power of the network effect, YouTube wins hands-down most if the times),
- any content is difficult to integrate into a language skill curriculum,
- any added interface restrictions may make it more difficult, not more stable,
- not unlike YouTube, files you may have used, even linked, can get removed.
- the website seems to be available only on campus – even if you are logged into your campus account (university VPN will likely help, and not, given that it has video throughput issues).
