Abstract
Higher education is moving toward increased online and blended learning formats; however, finding useful resources for such teaching can be challenging. One useful device for integrating multimedia in online and blended teaching is the open video repository (OVR), which principally provides freely accessible curated videos and also often suggestions for applying these videos to student learning. From a review of leading online sources in the social and natural sciences, this article describes the foundational OVR environment and acts as an initial guide for those interested in using OVRS.
