New & Trial Databases

Library Services is continuing to expand it online resources and this week we introduce a new regular database and a trial database.

unitedstreaming (permanent database)

This database allows educators to stream more than 50,000 clips from 5,000+ full video programs via the Internet. Videos can be streamed via the popular Windows Media or Quicktime players - a high-speed Internet connection is advised. Discovery Education is the vendor for this product.

The content contained within is primarily targeted for the K-12 learning environments. Videos cover all forms of subject matter from a wide range of educational production companies.

This database is only accessible to registered Education [DEGREE STUDENTS ONLY] students at the Medicine Hat College. Education students and their instructors will be issued a special username/password combination.
