Enhance Your Courses with Library Resources

Step by step instructions for grabbing durable links so you can share articles, eBooks, streaming video and more.

Share Videos

Link to Films on Demand videos so that they can be accessed on or off campus. 

In Films on Demand you can get a durable link for videos or embed videos so that you can share with your students in D2L. Here's how: 

  1. Get the link or code:
    Use the Share Tool below the video to get a durable or embed code to share with your students in D2L. Both of these options allow students access the video without having to login separately to FOD. 
    • To embed: select the Copy option for Embed code. The default option of medium works best in D2L. Students can still enlarge to full screen during playback. 
    • For a link: select the Copy option for LTI Link. 
  2. Add to Your Course:
    • For the Record URL
      (requires login off campus, plays within D2L, but it does show the transcript)
      • When you add the text on your course, highlight and select the link option from the D2L toolbar or right click to bring up the link option.
      • In the URL dialog box, paste in the URL you grabbed with the proxy prefix, make sure that the Target selected is New Window and insert. 
    • For the LTI Link
      (no login off campus, plays within D2L, does not show transcript)
      • When you add the text on your course, highlight and select the link option from the D2L toolbar or right click to bring up the link option.
      • In the URL dialog box, paste in the URL you grabbed with the proxy prefix, make sure that the Target selected is New Window and insert. 
    • For the embed code
      (no login off campus, plays within D2L, does not show transcript) 
      • Add any descriptive text about the video, hit enter, and go to the D2L toolbar and select the Source code option. 
      • Find the descriptive text in your source code and find the <p></p>. Put your cursor between the <p></p> and paste the embed code that you copied.
