With the model of YouTube, launched a site to study. Clarín
All materials in educational videos. And offers more than 7,000 audiovisual, selected by teachers at a Mexican university. The Ministry of Education recommended the site and Argentines are among those who consult it.
While Justin Bieber Lady Gaga and fight for being the first artist to reach the billions of copies of his videos on YouTube, there is another reality more modest but very uplifting made from lesser-known side of the popular website. In the audiovisual magma, which accepts ridiculous experiments from home to TV shows, there are "educational pearls" useful for anyone interested in mathematics, architecture, biology or other subjects. But like finding those needles in the haystack is not an easy task to someone thought to put together a parallel site.
Called Utubersidad-http: / / utubersidad.com-and offers a practical classification of academic videos for all ages, although more oriented to the middle tier and tertiary. The beta phase of the project (test) was launched recently and the page already has over 7,000 videos.


Want to take a course on Romanticism? Grammar Lessons? Do you know the origin of theater and Greek tragedy? Or, more earthly, would like to access an accounting course? If you are looking for philosophy, you can watch documentaries about Nietzsche, Hegel, Sartre and Marx. Or if you own the numbers, let a teacher give lessons in algebra or calculus. You can also ask to teach languages \u200b\u200bsuch as German, French, English, Japanese or Russian. All for one subscription that charges your Internet provider.

The site was born in Mexico and it is consulted throughout the Americas and Spain. Teachers and students in Argentina are second among the most visits have done so far. "The original idea was only to group certain videos available on YouTube to support our math classes. But we realized that the material was widely dispersed. And the search was frustrating, because not all videos are of appropriate quality. So we classify and guarantee its educational value, "he told Clarin Luis Fok, professor at the Autonomous University of Baja California and visible face of the project, run by professors from this university. "The ability to catalog the material and present it to the academic community more accessible may have a significant impact on education, "he said.
In fact, the Ministry of Education and recommended by teachers through the portal Argentine Educ.ar. "Teachers and students can find material Utubersidad interesting and very useful for work, increase their knowledge or clarify ideas," says the site.

When appreciate how the geographic distribution of the Argentines who access the site, you can see a greater focus on Capital, Buenos Aires and Santa Fe in the rest of the country consultations are minors, according to statistics developed by Fok and colleagues.

All videos, grouped in 26 different materials are in English. Only some have subtitles. So language is not an obstacle to understanding the content. However, the lack of infrastructure in many schools students do not miss the experience ("The Limits ...").

teachers who use videos as a learning tool rescue its value: "In order to use videos and animations class because there are issues that are very abstract. And for students it is easier to understand when you see it in this way, "says Marta Clarin Cukier, a professor of biology at a private school in the northern suburbs. "Where are very good video is on YouTube. We put from the computer through an overhead projector. There are even videos that are interactive, and if you have access to a PC for every student or every other, is a good form of exercise. Then we give the place the boy to use it at home while studying, "says Cukier.

in local schools is another barrier, as well as infrastructure, that is cultural. Roxana Morduchowicz, program director of School and Mass Education Ministry, explains: "Traditionally the school ranked the written word to the image. The school as an institution was created Gutenberg to teach reading. In the 80's the video began to have greater acceptance and more and more teachers use videos as a teaching tool. But here there is still more work. "

In the few months of testing that takes the site, 16% of the concerns took them mathematics, computer science 14% and 12% biology.


Argentina is the second biggest check out the site, after Colombia. Behind are Spain, Mexico, Peru, Chile, USA, Venezuela, Brazil and Ecuador.
end of the year estimated to have A total of 10,000 videos listed, ending with the beta to make the site officially opened.

virtual classroom language. A complete course for high school students about what are the words, structure and classification.
