Creating Custom Playlists

Playlists are an easy way to organize films you'd like to review later or share with others. A playlist in Kanopy can be one or many films and can be edited at any time.

When you find a film you'd like to add to an existing or new collection:

  1. Create an account in Kanopy and/or login.
  2. Scroll down and click on the Playlists tab.
  3. Click plus add button next to the custom playlist.
  4. Or click Playlist and create a new playlist. 

 

For more information, see Creating Clips and Playlists. If instructors find a film that NWTC does not own but they wish to require students to watch it for multiple sessions, they can contact Kim LaPlante to ask for it to be added to the collection (about $300 per year per title).
