When, where and how can I use my institution's Digital Theatre+ subscription?
This article explains who is allowed to access your Digital Theatre+ subscription within your institution, when and where they may do so, about public performance rights and some of the best ways to share content with others.
Who in my institution is allowed to use Digital Theatre+?
A Digital Theatre+ subscription provides institution-wide access to the platform. The resource may be primarily used by specific departments and for specific courses but all staff and students can access the platform for educational and enrichment purposes.
Your institution should have an authentication method set up — such as SSO (Single Sign-On), IP recognition, or EZproxy — to enable full platform access. If this is not yet configured, or if you'd like to explore your options, please refer to our support article on authentication options: Authentication Options
How can I show the content to my students?
Your Digital Theatre+ subscription allows you to show the content within your lectures, seminars and workshops with your students.
Students can also view content individually on or off campus, meaning you can set work for students to prepare before and after each session.
They can also use Digital Theatre+ independently for their personal study, self-directed learning and research purposes.
How can I share the content with my students?
The easiest and most effective way of sharing content with your students is to provide URL links to the content in your Learning Management System (e.g. Canvas, Blackboard or equivalent).
Each piece of content on our platform has its own individual URL, so simply copy and paste the URL into the module of your LMS and your students will be automatically directed to the specific piece of content you wish them to view.
To direct students to a specific scene or section within a video, follow the instructions in our support article: Linking to Scenes
We highly encourage adding links to your reading lists as well!
How can I use Digital Theatre+ for enrichment purposes, and do the terms of use change in this instance?
Digital Theatre+ offers a rich collection of resources that extend beyond formal education. We encourage institutions to use these resources for enrichment and enjoyment — not just academic study.
Examples of this include organising live or virtual theatre nights and using the resources for your institution’s societies.
Content may be shown in communal settings; however, the organiser or institution must not commercially benefit from these showings.
