Integrates With Learning Management Systems

Faculty need authoritative, diverse and inclusive content. That content must align to courses and be embeddable into learning management systems (LMS). Integration with LMS systems is critical for students. It creates a frictionless experience and enables them to find all course materials in one place. In turn, LMS integration drives usage of library content and increases the ROI of the library.
“Academic Video Online’s content is used throughout the university – in the arts, the sciences, and in historical research, to name a few. Its academic focused tools and features, including clip-making and scrolling transcripts, are useful in all disciplines. Key distributors, like Sony Picture Classics, and FILM PLATFORM, bring rich film and documentary content to the subscription.”
Lorraine Wochna, Subject Librarian for the Performing Arts, Ohio University
“Film has been used here in teaching and learning for a long time. Students like it – it’s much more visually stimulating than a text. In recent years, it’s been ramped up in the flipped classroom. The integration of videos into the learning experience is critical for students.”

Collection Development Librarian, Small Liberal Arts College

“Now it’s the norm to stream video, and I doubt users will go back to DVDs in the classroom.”

Collections Librarian, Large Public Research University
