Academic Success through Interactive Video Network
Online video helped millennial scholars stay up on their learning and introduced the Southeastern Conference (SEC) as a dual force showing that there's more to college conferences than just sports; they're academic institutions first and foremost. The SEC leads to be the pioneer of college conferences to initiate this concept and commitment to academia.

Is Online Video Here to Stay?
