About us – Our story, mission & values
At ClickView, we strive to transform teaching and learning experiences globally.
We support over 5,000 schools, colleges, and universities by empowering educators with the best of technology and enriching the education of future generations through world-leading video content.

Our evolution
ClickView was founded in 2003 and we’ve grown exponentially since our early years. Now with teams in the UK, Australia and the US, we have more than 100 staff worldwide working to make a positive impact on the education of future generations. Here’s how we evolved from a tech start-up into a world-leading content producer of curriculum-relevant video titles for educators and students.
The story begins
ClickView is founded in 2003 by Evan Clark, Tim Power and Matthew Sandblom, representing a whole new way for teachers to engage with students, especially digital natives. ClickView operates as an on-premise streaming solution for schools and needs a software install and a server.
The vision of ClickView takes shape around the forward-thinking belief that digital video will quickly become the future, long before the dawn of streaming services like YouTube.
The ClickView platform is an instant hit, allowing teachers to stream content locally rather than borrowing DVD or VHS videos. Everything is suddenly available on computers and in the classroom.
ClickView is the exclusive distributor of Video Education Australia (VEA)/Classroom Video/Learning Essential content in digital format.
