The AVON platform supports the following useful services for faculty looking to share content with their students:

  • Playlists can be created and shared
  • Clipping functionality
  • Transcripts available
  • Selected content can be sent to a mobile device.
  • Permalinks are provided for embedding on other sites.
  • Comprehensive permission for in-class, on-campus, and remote viewing.

Please know that we are discontinuing our current video subscription to Films on Demand. There is some content overlap so many of the titles available with that streaming service will also be available in AVON. If you are a faculty member who has assigned a film for your class and is now unable to access because of the switch, please contact uhwolib@hawaii.edu or your library liaison and the library will do our best to accommodate.
