Swank instructor tools

Digital Campus provides you with access to course-related films, providing students the opportunity to legally view relevant and engaging films online via Sakai.  Students can view assigned films 24/7 outside of the classroom, freeing up valuable class time and eliminating the time constraints of sharing physical copies!  

Digital Campus also allows you to:

  • Create lesson plans around your movie
  • Time-stamp different parts of the movie to highlight important segments
  • Create custom clips
