Films on Demand

Films On Demand is a streaming video platform that makes it easier than ever to incorporate outstanding educational programs into Blackboard.  

The Rowan-Cabarrus Library provides access to the Humanities and Social Sciences, Nursing and Career and Technical Collections containing thousands of quality films. 

This collection has both clips and full-length films. All full-length titles are already conveniently divided into short segments making it easy for faculty to use in class or embed in Blackboard.

Interactive Transcripts

Interactive Transcripts are now available for all English language videos. Interactive Transcripts allow you to view the full text of the video, search within the full text, or click on any word in the transcript to jump to that exact point in the video.

How interactive transcripts work:

The Transcript tab will display in the box to the right of the video player.

Click the play button on the player, or one of the Segment links, and the video will begin to play back as normal.

Click on the Transcript tab to view the interactive transcript. The current point within the transcript will be indicated by the highlighted portion of text, and will progress in real time.

To jump to a different section of the video, simply click on a word within the transcript and the video will jump to that point. You can also jump back/ahead using the status bar on top of the transcript module, or within the player itself.

Transcripts are downloadable.
