Q. Can I add a streaming video onto Course Readings?
No. This is because the film is only restricted to course participants and including a link to it within Course Readings would make it accessible to all NUS staff and students.
However, you may request for a streaming video for your course and NUS Libraries will inform you if the streaming version is available. Thereafter, you may consider adding the video link in other parts of Canvas, such as in Pages or Files. For more information on this, please refer to https://libguides.nus.edu.sg/coursereadings/requeststreamingvideo
Prior to doing so, please check if NUS Libraries has the e-version of the reading (e.g. book chapter found within ebook).
If NUS Libraries does not have the e-version, please ensure that the scanned reading to be added is copyright compliant on its own and when added onto the reading list.
Once you have confirmed that you will be adhering to copyright regulations, please refer to Add reading by filling up a form. Particularly, at its step 2, select File to attach the scanned copy of the reading.
