Persistent Links to Films on Demand Videos

Using persistent links allows you to access to Hartness Library materials through email, on websites, in Moodle course sites etc...  However, the correct URL must be used to maintain login authentication for many of the Library’s databases. URLs must contain the letters hrt and the word libraries for authentication.

Example: http://hrt-proxy.libraries.vsc.edu/login?url=http://digital.films.com.hrt-proxy.libraries.vsc.edu/PortalPlaylists.aspx?aid=6842&xtid=44397

1. Use the Films on Demand database to find a video.
2. Locate and copy the Title URL.
   
   
   
   
3. Paste the link in an email, website, Moodle course site, etc…

Embedding Video in Moodle

You can simply link to a video in Moodle, or embed a video directly within a weekly discussion area. Note: Do not embed videos in individual forum posts - Moodle will strip them out.

1. After locating the video in the Films on Demand database, use the Embed this video option to get the HTML code.

3. Go to Moodle and turn editing on.
4. Click on Add an activity or resource to insert the video in the discussion area.
