Since eLearn does not consistenly open library database links,
  one option is to use the catalog link.

1. Select your video.
2. Search for the title in the library's catalog.
3. At the top of the page, locate the "Permanent link to this record." 
4. Copy and paste the link as your video link in eLearn
   

 Once the direct link is completed:

1. Students will select this link in your eLearn course. 
2. The link will direct them to the catalog record.
3. Students will then select "View this video online."
4. Library password will be required to open the video if student is off-campus.
   

1. Select "Embed/Link" (or "Stable URL") and copy the link that will appear.
   
   

   

2. Add the library prefix:
      
           https://libdb.chattanoogastate.edu:3443/login?url=
   
   
   Example:
   
           https://libdb.chattanoogastate.edu:3443/login?url=http://ahiv.alexanderstreet.com/view/660679
   
   
   
   
3. Create a Tiny.cc of this long link (eLearn will not accept the longer link).
   
   Go to Tiny.cc website.  Paste your long database link into the box and "tiny!" it.
   
      E.g.  http://tiny.cc/ahiv_betterangels
   
   
4. Use this Tiny.cc (short URL) within eLearn.
   
   

Note:  A mobile link lasts 48 hours.

1. Select the mobile device icon above the video screen.
2. Choose one of the "Send to mobile device" options.
