20. Swank Digital Campus: Basics
• Over 18,000 films from major Hollywood studios
available
• Instructors must select films and embed in
Blackboard/Moodle for students to view
• Instructors can customize lesson plans for each film
• Cannot create clips, but can instruct students to view
just sections of film
• Plan ahead—it can take up to 10 days to receive film if
no one else on campus has used it before
• Cannot show outside of Blackboard/Moodle, but can
stream in class or allow students to view on their own

21. Swank Digital Campus: Basics
There are a few more steps to use the extensive
film collection from Digital Campus than our other
streaming resources. This is because managing
rights with major commercial studios are more
complicated.
We have the steps outlined on our LibGuide, and
you may also contact Cathy Rothermel
(carother@uncg.edu) or any of us or your liaison for
help.

22. Swank Digital Campus: Basics
Step 1. Go the Digital Campus page from the
LibGuide.
Step 2. See what films are already available (you
need a password)
Step 3. Grab the code for the film you need and
embed in Blackboard.
Step 4. Don’t see the film you need, search Digital
Campus (no password necessary)
Step 5. Request the film using the online form. You
will receive an email within 10 days with the code
to embed in Blackboard.
