RESEARCH IN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES1
Introduction:
In the research report, the development and the use of the educational websites explainer
videos have been discussed about. The educational websites and the explainer videos have
become quite popular in today’s time. The development and the promotion of the Edu Tube, a
chain of You Tube have been developed considering the needs of the students. There are a
number of websites that have been developed in order to address the needs and the requirement
of the students. These websites have included all forms of information, for all the discourses,
available across the world. Most importantly, all the educational websites that are available, have
provided a very minute attention to all the discourses, and if these websites considered then it
can be seen, that the websites have included almost all the questions that can be arisen or asked
regarding a particular topic. For example, if we consider the relation between organizational
culture and communication within an organization, then it can be found that there are prolific
amount of materials available on the websites and at the same time, it can be observed that all the
questions that can crop up regarding this particular to have been enlisted on the websites. At the
same time, it is found, that there are a number of websites available for a single topic. Now, if we
consider the explanation videos that re available on the You Tube, or the Edu You Tube, or the
You Tube learning, then it can be found, there are a number of channels considering a particular
topic from a particular topic. However, the learning videos are more effective considering the
perspective of the students. The learning videos have included a detailed understanding and a
detailed analysis of the topic. Another exclusive aspect of the learning videos are that, in most of
the cases, it is found that many teachers of universities and colleges have made such videos. This
has been proved to be really helpful for the students, since, the information they get are authentic
in nature, and studies have proved that audio visual modes of learning are more effective and

helpful for the students. This does not propose that the available websites are less helpful for the
students, rather it refers that, in order to understand about a concept the students prefer the
learning videos, and in order to produce a literature, to complete their assignments or their home
works the students like to rely upon the websites more.
Therefore, in the following report, one learning a video and the one educational website
will be discussed. The report is aiming to understand the literature or the discourses that have
been included by this website and by this channel. At the same time, the development of the
websites and the educational channel will be discussed. Therefore, as an educational website,
EdX has been chosen, and as a learning you tube channel, or learning educational channel,
Veritasium has been chosen.

courses offered by the website and the online materials that are available on the website are all
uploaded and updated and distributed by Harvard School and University. The student can avail
for university level courses, online, and they will also have the opportunity to get certificates
from the university itself.

educate the students all across the globe. The website had been developed by the university with
the basic aim of promoting education across the nation as well as the globe. The university had

the courses available at the universities because of monetary issues, but they want to study and
know and learn more.

students who have completed a degree but at the same time, they want to expand their
knowledge. Therefore, these online courses can prove to be very helpful as well. Also, many of
the students want to develop their professional skills and their professional level of competency.
It is often observed, that while working for a reputed firm, many people want to develop their
competency in the market and want to update and boost their CV and therefore, they often
include certain online curses, in certain specific areas. For example, it is often seen, that working
people, while working for a company, sit for online courses, and learn about certain computer
languages, as there are plenty of them, this, therefore, increases their chances or getting hired in
another organizations, or in order to get a competitive edge in the job market. Another effective
example is, since the number of MBA students in the job market the organizations are looking
for people who do not only have the idea of the conventional courses, but along with that, who
have other understandings or who have the knowledge of more specified fields which can be
very useful for the organizations. For example, most of the students are completing their degrees
in the finance, marketing, sales or human resource. But, certain people, are aiming for
completion for digital marketing courses, or the accounts students are seen to be opting for cost
management or accounting in acquisitions and mergers. Therefore, certain specific courses are
