4. Assigning Movies to Students: Learn how to assign and enable films to students for viewing outside of class. Student Username: Student Password: Step 1 Identify the movie you want to assign to students. Ensure the movie is already available in your streaming library for viewing. When clicking a movie, if you see “Watch” and “Share” buttons, the film is available. If you see a “Request” button, you will need to request access and wait for approval from your Swank Administrator prior to assigning the film. Step 2 Click “Share” on the movie page and select either the Direct Link or the LMS link. Direct Link: Direct Links are the full URL to the film, which enable access via any sharing option, such as email, course syllabus, and Learning Management Systems. LMS Link: LMS Links are intended to be placed in Learning Management Systems that accept HTML, such as Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle and many others. Please note: Google Classroom and Schoology do not accept LMS links. If ever there is a question about which link to use, we recommend the Direct Link to ensure playback. The website URL or any page URLs in the streaming platform shouldnever be shared with students. They will receive an error message. Please only use either the Direct or LMSlinks when enabling student access to movies. Step 3 Paste the link into whatever platform you intend to share with students and include the generic student username and password listed above for their log in.
