Directions on creating a link to an AVON video for use in Canvas

1) Access the desired video on AVON.

2) Copy the URL.

You can highlight and copy it from the location bar at the top.

For example: https://video.alexanderstreet.com/watch/women-in-business

3) Add the following to the beginning of the URL:

https://lib.proxy.csustan.edu/login?url=

The final URL should look like:

http://lib.proxy.csustan.edu/login?url=https://video.alexanderstreet.com/watch/video-name

For example: https://lib.proxy.csustan.edu/login?url=https://video.alexanderstreet.com/watch/women-in-business

4) Paste the URL where needed. (In Canvas, add it as a normal web link.)

You may link to Academic Video Online videos in Canvas using the LTI Canvas integration tool.

Follow the normal steps to add content. You should see a special category for Alexander Street Video (in addition to the normal list of "item," "file", "web link," "video", etc.)

   1. Link (normal web-style link)
   2. Embed - Medium (play video inline - medium size)
   3. Embed - Large
7. Close Window
