Kanopy Capped PDA Transition to Faculty-Mediated Requests

We are transitioning Kanopy from a Capped PDA model to a fully mediated, faculty-request model. Under the Capped PDA model, many titles were underutilized, leading to inefficient spending, with licenses often triggered after minimal use. In response, we are moving to a mediated model where only titles directly requested by faculty for course-related purposes will be licensed.

This transition ensures that our streaming media resources are aligned with academic needs and budget priorities. Faculty can submit their requests through the Ares Course Reserve system, ensuring that all necessary digital rights are secured and materials are available to students in a timely manner. This approach provides more predictable and sustainable spending while maintaining access to essential educational content.

We remain committed to supporting faculty and enhancing the student learning experience through efficient, focused access to streaming media resources.
