Films On Demand

Films On Demand is a web-based video delivery system from the Films Media Group (FMG).  Films On Demand provides instant access to a growing collection of quality video titles suitable for both undergraduate and graduate level courses.  Videos are available on-demand, 24 hours a day - no order forms, no wait times, and no shipping fees.

There are two methods for directing your students to Films On Demand.  The first is through the Library Databases page, which can be accessed from ERNIE and allows students to access and view all Films On Demand titles available from the Hunt Library.  The second is through instructor created playlists, which allows students to view only those Films On Demand titles assigned by their instructors. 

To view a list of titles, instructions for accessing Films on Demand from the databases page, information on creating personalized playlists, or the technical requirements for Films On Demand, please click on the appropriate link below:

Playlists (Faculty and Staff Only)

In order to create playlists, you must establish a user name and password.  Please contact the Hunt Library at library@erau.edu or call us at 1-800-678-9428 and request a password. We will need you to provide us with your name, colleague number, phone number, and an email address that you use most frequently.
Instructors can create personalized playlists for any class upon receiving a password from FMG.  After a playlist has been created, Films On Demand will generate a playlist code and URL, which instructors can then imbed within their Blackboard course modules.  This will allow students to view only those videos their instructors have assigned or chosen for them to view. 

NOTE: Passwords for creating playlists are available only to faculty and staff. Students can not receive passwords.  Students can only access Films On Demand from the Library Databases page, which gives them access to all Films On Demand titles available from the Hunt Library, or through instructor created playlists, which only gives them access to instructor selected titles.
