Kanopy: Streaming Video Database

With your Ball State username and password, you can view music documentaries and performances via Kanopy.com  Unlike Youtube, Kanopy's videos are legally authorized for use in courses and presentations, and come with a durable URL for citing in papers.  In addition, most videos include transcripts, making it easy to quote presenters.   As of March, 2017, there are over 550 full-length videos for viewing.

You can also set up an account within Kanopy for creating lists and making clips of videos to embed in course materials.

Click here to browse the videos about music.  (You will be asked for your username and password)
