Kanopy at RTC: For Instructors

Here’s what you are going to need in order to do this task:  

• A registered Kanopy account through the RTC Library databases on the RTC Library homepage.  
• A word processor or somewhere to copy/paste some information. 
• The guide for embedding a Kanopy video into Canvas found at the RTC Library LibGuides. 
• The Canvas page, assignment, quiz, or discussion to which you want to add the Kanopy video. 

Please note:

1. Videos embedded into Canvas only work in Firefox.  When accessed in Chrome, an error message occurs prevents the user from logging into the Library databases. 
2. To watch Kanopy videos, you first must log into the Library Databases using your RTC email username and password.  Then, you'll need to either sign up for or log into your Kanopy account.
3. The videos are embedded in Canvas, but the videos cannot be watched in Canvas - instead the videos open in a new tab in the browser to play.

Please add the following to your Canvas page so students know how to log into watch the Kanopy video:
