Boclips, the world’s leading provider of Ed-Ready videos, is excited to announce that Boclips Classroom will now be available to download and install on all BenQ Board interactive displays. BenQ enhances the classroom experience with the latest Google EDLA-certified smart boards that deliver exceptional software, specs, support, and security. Through this partnership, Boclips and BenQ offer educators a new and innovative way to provide students with the best possible academic resources.

 

A recent Boclips survey finds that 96% of educators use videos regularly in classrooms. And while YouTube has proven to be a leading generator of misinformation, over 75% of educators still use it as a teaching method. Why? Because 77% educators lack sufficient video resources or are dissatisfied with school-provided resources.

 

According to the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report 2024, disinformation is a leading global threat, and the proliferation of misinformation and disinformation on YouTube will only grow as AI-generated content becomes easier to create. In addition, YouTube has an ad-centric business model that tries to keep visitors on-site to drive advertising income. This results in a distracting environment where students are bombarded with algorithmic video recommendations, advertisements, and public commentary to capture their attention for longer.

 

With BenQ’s advanced smart board technology, educators can seamlessly access and share videos directly through their digital boards, providing high-quality educational resources while ensuring content accuracy and integrity.
