This is not produced web content or advertising, but is a great use of web video nonetheless. Imagine studying French from a tutor in Paris, while sitting in your room at home – eduFire uses web video to make it possible:
Online learning site eduFire announced today that it has raised $1.3 million in Series A funding from Battery Ventures, Western Technology Investments and investor Gokul Rajaram (who helped build Google AdSense).
eduFire is an educational marketplace where students can take classes via live web video. The company has expanded beyond its initial focus on learning languages to offer classes in standardized test preparation and technology training. Languages are the most popular topic on the site.
