Informit EduTV review
A broad, ad-free academic video library with LMS embedding and clipping tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Informit EduTV is an ad-free, on-demand video service for academic institutions with a current Screenrights licence. Its library includes 50,000 videos across documentaries, dramas, films, and television programs sourced from Australian and international broadcasts. Programs cover content from 2006 onward, and the service supports classroom streaming as well as independent study. Higher-education teams looking for broad media variety, rather than a tightly defined subject library, are the clearest fit.
According to the published commercial terms, pricing is quotation-based and subscriptions are described as 12-month terms. That model suits institutions that prefer to discuss access requirements directly with Informit, but it offers less immediate price transparency for buyers comparing providers. The service is available on the web, and access depends on the institution maintaining a current Screenrights licence. New programs are added weekly, helping the collection remain active beyond its existing catalogue.
The platform’s strongest practical advantages are discovery and reuse: users can search through the Informit platform, create clips, share content, save favourites, and embed videos in learning management systems. These tools support both course delivery and individual study without requiring learners to leave the institution’s learning environment. Informit EduTV is a sensible choice for higher-ed organisations that prioritise breadth, ad-free viewing, and broadcast-based educational content. Institutions seeking highly developed classroom workflows or deeper analytics should consider platforms with a stronger emphasis on those areas.
