Swank Digital Campus provides streaming access to feature films. These films may only be viewed through the Swank Digital Campus platform. Films may be shown in class or assigned to enrolled students to view outside of class. The films do not have public performance rights.
Films are licensed for one year from the date it is added to the portal.
Here is how the process works:
Make sure that you have an instructor account setup in Swank.
After logging into Swank with your instructor account, you will see a row of movies that we currently have licensed. Below that, you will see the Swank Catalog. The films in the Swank Catalog are movies that are available for you to request.
After locating a film that you would like the library to license, click on the film and then click Request.
Fill out the request form. It will be submitted to the library and we will be in touch once it has been licensed.
Once licensed, share the direct link provided with students.
Note: Activation may take up to 48 hours (Monday-Friday) after movie is licensed.
