To create a playlist in Kanopy, follow these steps:
*There are two different ways to create a playlist. The first set of instructions is for creating a playlist from your dashboard from scratch. The second set of instructions is for creating a playlist using the video you need as a starting point.
Creating a playlist from your dashboard:
1. Go to your dashboard.
2. You can click either "My Playlists" from the top navigation bar OR where you see "[a number] Playlists."
3. Click the box that says "Create a new playlist."
4. Name your playlist and click "Create playlist."
5. Once your playlist has been created, you'll be taken to a page that says "No data" and "Click here to add a new clip." Click to add a new clip, and type in the title you're looking for. Click the video to add it to your list.
6. If you want the entire video in your playlist, that's it! You're done. If you want to edit the description of the video or clip it down to just a section of the video, click the Edit button to the right of the video.
7. Now you can give your clip a new title and/or enter a description of your clip.
8. If you want to specify a shorter clip length, scroll down after you enter your description. There's a box for start time and stop time where you can either enter in the times by typing them in, OR you can play the video and click capture where you want to start and click capture where you want to stop.
9. When you have narrowed down your clip time, click Save clip.
10. After you've saved your clip, you'll be brought back out to the edit playlist page. If you're happy with the changes, click Save changes. This takes you back to your playlists page.
Creating a new playlist from a video:
1. Click on the video, and beneath the title, click on Create Clip/Playlist.
2. If you already created a playlist, you'll see that option listed. Otherwise, you'll be prompted to name your new playlist. Do this and click Create.
3. After you click Create, you'll see your new playlist listed with any other playlists you've already created.
How to use Kanopy's built-in citation tool:
Beneath the title of a video, near the Share and Creat Clip/Playlist buttons, click ...More. Then, click Citation tool. The options are APA, MLA, Chicago, and Harvard.
Don't forget to let your students know that they should still check the citation for accuracy!
