Films in distance education courses

Having distance education students watch a film is not as simple as showing a film in a traditional classroom. However, there are options. If you plan ahead, consult with DELTA and/or NCSU Libraries, and stay flexible, there may be a good solution. Some of your options include:

DVDs shipped to each student This can sometimes be arranged, but costs can be prohibitive. Contact Lily Leegstra in DELTA to discuss (lily_leegstra@ncsu.edu or 919-513-2395).

A limited number of films shipped by NCSU Libraries

NCSU Libraries can purchase a limited number of films (less than one copy per student in your course) and ship them to the students upon request. This option works well for films that students can watch at varying times during the semester, and less well when every student has to watch the film during the same week. Contact Josh Boyer at the NCSU Libraries to discuss (josh_boyer@ncsu.edu or 919-513-3655).

Films available at the Media Center in D.H. Hill Library

NCSU Libraries may be able to purchase one or two copies of a film and make them available at the Media Center in D.H. Hill Library. This is not relevant to students who live far away, but if your distance education course has some students in the Raleigh area, it could be a consideration.
