Teaser: 
Docents guide you through paintings, sculpture, museums, archaeological digs, underwater excavations and more

Quick Look: To those without a subscription, DOCENT Channel offers is a duplication of one category from the MOV! Roku channel, with one exception - the videos are free on MOV! but require a $4.95 per month subscription to view them on DOCENT Channel. There are 10 video selections, some of which are duplicates, each around 30 seconds to 7 minutes in length. Most of them are promotional videos, but requiring a subscription to view the promos negates the purpose of providing a promotional video at all.

Informational videos about colleges, schools and distance learning programs

Quick Look: The College Channel and University Channel are identical, so no need to look at both.

If you are looking for specific information about attending college, financial aid, loans, scholastic requirements, application process, etc., you will likely be disappointed in this channel. College Channel focuses on the two extreme reaches of the college experience: Online learning and Ivy League, without any middle of the road information.
