Kanopy

LLCC Library has earmarked money for Kanopy to be used by its faculty in order to enrich the teaching experience. Because there is a finite amount of money set aside for Kanopy, the library entrusts faculty to use the service judiciously and understand how the product works and the costs associated with video acquisition. 

Please note that LLCC Library wants you to be aware of the costs associated and how they accumulate for this service; however, if Kanopy can be useful to your classroom experience, then please use it!! 

Cost Breakdown 

After a video title is watched FOUR times within a 12 month period, that title is triggered and a one-year license ($120)  is purchased for the video title.  If a title is viewed 0-3 times within a 12 month period there is no cost. 

If you know that you will use the same video for more than one year, please contact Amanda Wiesenhofer, Director, Library Digital and Technical Services. We are able to purchase a three-year license and stretch our Kanopy dollars even further. (1-year license: $120, 3-year license: $280)

What constitutes a view?  

Watching 30 seconds or more of a video constitutes as one view.  

For example:  

•If you watch the movie, Lady Bird, then that constitutes as a view.  

•If someone else clicks on Lady Bird accidentally and lets it play for 30 seconds or more, then that constitutes a view.  

•If you or someone else, re-watches/watches Lady Bird, then this constitutes as a view. 

Once the title is viewed four times, it is triggered and a one-year license is purchased for $120. After a video has been triggered, the video can be watched an infinite number of times by a wide variety of authorized users at no additional cost for one year after the trigger point. (Again, contact Amanda Wiesenhofer if you plan to use the video for more than a 12-month period.)  

Views on a title can accumulate quickly, triggering purchased licenses. The goal is to use Kanopy as intentionally as possible with a focus on educational needs.
