In a first, CBSE launches its own YouTube channel
Nagpur: CBSE is pushing forward its initiative of using technology to promote academics and values. The board has become the first among peers in country to have an official channel on YouTube, being called C B S E C h a n n e l. Affiliated schools can post videos produced by them on the channel, giving them a wider audience and boosting their brand value.
CBSE spokesperson Rama Sharma said, “The central board wants to make itself more accessible and make school activities more visible, hence this step. There are guidelines on what kind of videos can be uploaded and a special team is supervising the process.” CBSE has asked schools to submit their videos as attachments in e-mail or by post on a CD before March 31. Already 168 videos are now available on the channel.
Schools can submit videos up to 10 minutes in length. These videos can only be based on preapproved themes. The board has asked the schools to ensure the video is well edited so that it appeals to viewers and appears professional. The board will retain control over the videos and will use them as it wishes.
