A Word from Our University
Welcome to our digital campus. The intent and design of our University is to offer an array of diverse products that support all educational programs within the global community. This includes offering specialized supplemental videos that have been reviewed and approved by our academic experts and staff that are considered to add value to the learning experience.

Dr. Clayton's Vision
Dr. Clayton's vision of the future of education was that it would be "all-inclusive and international scope." This vision extends his fundamental desire to build on and expand the effort to establish his Arizona Teacher's College (a nonprofit U.S. corporation). The college was conceptualized and designed "to offer professional educator curriculums that facilitate the revision and rejuvenation of advanced education by implementing the movement through a new type of educator or teacher." (Clayton, 2018).
He thought that education in the future should be "a recombination (an innovative and unique mix) of teaching technologies changes in core subject relevancies, while at the same time returning the classroom and student selection and management process to those core disciplines that were proven to work the best in the past." (Clayton, 2020)
​
Given this, Dr. Clayton, in effect, wanted his teacher's college to become, as he put it, "a seed of this movement that would result in the renovation of the complete educational curriculum system, the subjects taught, and how they are taught, to establish the educational system in the United States as the best in the world." (Clayton, 2021)
This website is in part conceptualized and designed to implement Dr. Clayton's grander vision through the adaptation, organization, and introduction of a wide array of videos that support the advancement of education. This conceptualization has been referred to by Dr. Clayton as his "Virtual Teacher's College Initiative."
Mission Conceptualization
Digital curation is the management and preservation of digital data/information over the long-term. It involves maintaining, preserving and adding value to digital research data throughout its lifecycle.
​
"Digital curation as conceptualized in this context is the empirical approach and method applied to construct this website for the benefit of advancing the integration of technology, access, and use of audio visual media into classroom content."
Dr. Clayton, 2022.

More about this initiative
Initiatives are about passing the baton to our future generations. As with the history of the Black community, I cannot imagine anything more critically important than the preservation of our collective heritage and human history. I believe this project offers authors, educators, and others with shared beliefs the chance to assist us in curating at least a portion of the videos and information that represent this epoch phenomenon. In addition, the members and contributors to this project will serve the opportunity for all people of the global community in assisting us in our efforts to capture, build, and sustain a well-organized and easily accessible video archive (library) that will fairly represent all humankind across a variety of diverse and popular interests. By accomplishing this, it is my hope that the people of the world will come to better understand and appreciate the value of our differences as we shift to adapt and join together as a unified and broad minded people.
Dr. Clayton, 2022
