Streaming Platforms and Collections at OCCC

Overview

"[Academic Video Online and PBS] delivers video titles spanning the widest range of subject areas including anthropology, business, counseling, film, health, history, music, and more. Curated for the educational experience, the massive depth of content and breadth of content-types (such as documentaries, films, demonstrations, etc.) makes this database a useful resource for faculty and students alike." 

Overview

Films on Demand (FOD) provides access to over 35,000 videos that cover subjects from all major disciplines. The films are from credible producers such as National Geographic, Nova, Cengage Learning, BBC, and many others. These films are great resources for on campus and online classes, for individual student research, or to help students supplement their learning.

Additionally, FOD allows instructors to create playlists and link in Moodle. 

Overview

Swank Digital Campus, Inc.® allows OCCC faculty members the ability to legally stream major motion pictures and documentaries within Moodle.

Swank Digital also allows students, faculty, and staff to watch films on their own for private study.

All students, faculty, and staff will be prompted to sign in with their OCCC email before they can search and watch films in OCCC's Swank collection. 

Titles in this collection may not be used for public performance.

Faculty may link the movie in Moodle and have students view the film at their convenience or show during class. If you are faculty using a film for class, please contact Dana Tuley-Williams (dtuley@occc.edu) to ensure the title(s) you use will be renewed. Faculty wishing to request a film through Swank should use the request form below. 

Search Swank Digital to see if they have rights to the film you would like to stream. Note that some films listed may not be available if they lack captions or there are other licensing issues.

This is a changing collection. Titles will be added and removed.
