National Film Board CAMPUS Renewal 2016-2017 [1]
Return to one-year license term: In 2015 and 2016, NFB CAMPUS was a two-year license. It has reverted to a traditional one-year term for 2017.
Rebranding
- “CAMPUS” is now NFB Education.
- Adding new content and increasing functionality (eg. improved chaptering tool); no loss of content
- Learner focused supplementary content centred around critical thinking. Includes bite-sized modular lessons, lesson builder, online workshops for media production, and short-form courses.
New for 2017:
- Domain Authentication: To create a profile, users simply go to one page and enter their institutional email. If the institution has a valid subscription, the user may create a profile. Registration must be confirmed by email before the profile is activated. The domain authentication project has been put on hold pending a solution for institutions that do not issue email addresses to students.
- Student Access: Students can also create profiles, and use NFB video school to create productions or presentations. They can create and share playlists and chapters.
- Single Sign On (SSO) for all users via Facebook and Google.
Other improvements
- Interoperability with any LMS
- Closed Captioning: NFB had a pending initiative to caption over 50% of their back catalogue
- MARC records will be RDA compliant
To RENEW, no response is required from current subscribers as listed above. To CANCEL, libraries should contact BC ELN by the response deadline.
Mid-term joins will be accepted at any time and prorated to the common renewal date.
MARC Records:
Each library is to designate a MARC record contact in their response spreadsheet. This person will be set up with a profile that allows them to download the records at https://www.nfb.ca/education/ [2]
Additional library staff can be set up with access to MARC records. They must first create a user profile. Once the profile is set up, the primary eresource contact at the library can write to Chantale Turgeon (C.Turgeon@nfb.ca [3]) with the user’s name and email address, asking that MARC records are activated for their user profile.
