[CASL-L] Streaming video services?

[LaPlante, Casey]

Michelle—

We have a school Netflix account for the staff to use in class.  Netflix is blocked on the wi-fi primarily to conserve bandwidth (and keep students from binge-watching…) but the staff uses Netflix on their desktops connected to projectors for class.  This doesn’t mean I still don’t need a ton of DVDs, from things that aren’t on Netflix or disappear from Netflix, to being able to allow students to make up missed assignments (say, a missed day of Film class.)

Hope this is helpful—

This may be a dumb series of questions, but I haven't looked into this for a while.

What (if anything) do you offer as a copyright-friendly video streaming service for commercial feature films (i.e. Gangs of New York, Last of the Mohicans, Glory, etc.) ?

How many of you block access to online streaming services such as Netflix, HBOGO, Hulu, and ShowtimeAny on campus?

Is hard copy DVD still the only legitimate solution?

What kinds of conversations are emerging around this in your districts?

Thanks!
