Content AudioBlocks and VideoBlocks are stock audio and video subscription services targeted at educational users: teachers, media specialists, instructional designers, web designers, etc. AudioBlocks offers more than 100,000 royalty-free music tracks, sound effects, and loops, all of which can be downloaded and used in any educational project. VideoBlocks presents over 115,000 professionally created, studio-quality HD video clips, After Effects templates, motion backgrounds, and stock footage-also with lifetime usage rights, royalty-free. There are no download caps in either service, and both are updated twice monthly with thousands of new clips and/or tracks. USABILITY I visited AudioBlocks first. Upon logging into my trial account, I ar-rived at the "members dashboard," where I could "manage [my] profile, view and edit [my] subscription information, and see what's new." This is also where I could view recommended music, sound effects, and loops, or browse different kinds of music (by moods, genres, or instruments); sound effects (ranging from alarms to wood); or loops (including brass, guitar, orchestra, percussion, piano, and woodwind). The search box allows researchers to browse the entire collection or a specific subject.
