Streaming Video - Purchase on Demand

These streaming video platforms features films from a variety of disciplines on purchase-on-demand basis. Viewing a video more than a set number of times triggers a purchase. Watching for at least 30 seconds is considered one “view.” If you would like to use one of these videos in a classroom setting, please contact libraryhelp@erikson.edu so a librarian can advise you.

Note: Kanopy videos cannot be shared over Zoom.
Due to copyright, Kanopy requires users to go through user authentication to access Kanopy films. Because screensharing a film over Zoom does not require individual users to log into Kanopy, Zoom participants will see a black screen instead of the film. Kanopy advises professors who would like to discuss a film over Zoom to share the link to the film and have students mute themselves, navigate to another tab of their browser, watch the selected clip, and then come back to the Zoom. If you would like your students to watch select film clips, you can use the clips/playlist feature of Kanopy to create a playlist to share with your students.
