The ‘case study’ approach
Indexing, clips, and playlists enhance learning
Unique research power
We transform video into fielded, searchable databases that enable in-depth research. This lets researchers conduct a wide range of new research: •Anthropology: Examine marriage rituals across cultures from 1975-2010. •History: What words did JFK use most frequently in his early career vs. his later career? •Counseling: Show me every time Albert Ellis used the word “emotion” in his counseling demonstrations. •Music: Show me performances of Strauss by Kiri Te Kanawa. •Drama: Examine performances of Shakespearean jokes over time.
