Streaming Videos: Kanopy

A guide to using online videos in the classroom

Finding films

From the Kanopy homepage,

All the films are arranged by subject. Choose Browse in the black bar to see the subject areas, or search using the search box. 

 

Save or embed films

Once you find a film you like, look for the options toolbar under the film. You can use the Share option to email it or embed it into Canvas. 

Create custom clips or playlists

Want to use only one part of a film or have students watch more than one film?

You can create your own customized clips and playlists in Kanopy.
