The library contains 5,500 curriculum-related short length videos, selected from the existing resources of project partners according to the EduTubePlus video selection strategy. Lesite.tv contributed around 3,200 clips, most of them in French; RAI Educational provided 1,000 clips in Italian, while the Educational TV of the Greek MoE provided 750 clips in Greek.  Partners CI, Eduhi, Klett and SIVECO also contributed videos in Portuguese, German, and Romanian and English. All videos have been tagged with educational metadata following the EduTubePlus video metadata scheme.
