Fabulous! That’s what I thought, but I started to secondguess myself, so I figured I’d pick everyone’s brains. Thanks for the quick responses.

Agreed. We see embed code as a form of linking.

And basically an embed code is just another kind of link, so see no issue with it, assuming it is one of their publicly available films.

 

By the way, I realise I still have some meeting minutes to send out – sorry for the delay everyone.

NFB can be used for education use including embedding in blog posts, etc. So I would think that it is ok for an open text.

Hi all,

 

Just wanted to get feedback from you all re: NFB films in open textbooks – OK to embed or better to just link out?

 

Thanks,

 

Brenda
