Discovery Communications has kicked off a new online subscription video-rich site called Cosmeo that the cable network company is positioning as a homework helper for students. (Saul Hansell had word of this launch yesterday.)
Cosmeo costs $9.95/month and features more than 30,000 video clips along with documents, pictures, games, links and more resources aimed at helping kids with various homework activities. Cosmeo is really a consumer-oriented version of an in-school service that Discovery has been providing for a while, with the material cross-tabulated with state academic standards.
The videos on Cosmeo are organized by grade-level and topic, and reflect Discovery’s education, and not entertainment, themed programs.
