About eClips

E-Clips provides business educators and students with real-world expert views on topics related to business, entrepreneurship and leadership. Designed for use inside and outside the classroom, the collection is made of up thousands of individualized video clips created from in-depth video interviews with or presentations by entrepreneurs and other experts. Interviewees include startup and experienced entrepreneurs, business leaders (corporate and non-profit), venture capitalists, bankers, angel investors, and employees of startup companies.

Using eClips in the Classroom

E-Clips was created by Prof. Deborah Streeter, the Bruce F. Failing, Sr. Professor of Personal Enterprise and Small Business Management, with students and entrepreneurship educators in mind. Streeter's original concept was to create a "virtual panel" of experts, to be used to stimulate discussion, illustrate concepts, and create a real-world feel in teaching entrepreneurship. The flexibility of having clips (as opposed to feature-length video) allows the instructor to intersperse the digital video material with the text-based or discussion-based exposition in the classroom. The clips can be inserted into PowerPoint presentations and played (when appropriate) in combination and alternation with other conceptual material. Instructors can also make the video clips available on-line to students, using the pre-assigned themes or by creating a listening list from their favorite "bookmarked" clips specific to the course.
