• Please notify the Library of all the titles you plan to use for your course, and specify the semester, even if the title is currently active in OneSearch. This will allow the Library to ensure that licenses will not run out before your intended use. You can use the Course Reserve Request Form to submit your list of titles. 
• Distribute links to students via Canvas.

Films that are available to stream through platforms like Films on Demand (FOD) can be embedded into your Canvas course.

After creating a page in Canvas, edit the page and click the plug icon on the far right to find the appropriate App, see below.

Click on the App, this example uses FOD. Type the title of the film and search. Choose Embed Large, then save the page.
