Replace retired NFB CAMPUS playlists and clips with current sharing tools

NFB Education retired CAMPUS playlists and saved Clips. My List now bookmarks whole films, while a film-page link supplies the documented sharing route.

Recognise the retired CAMPUS feature

The NFB’s playlist help, updated in June 2025, explains that CAMPUS playlists once provided students access to films reserved for that platform. Under NFB Education, films no longer require that privileged access, so the old playlist function is no longer needed. An older tutorial asking a teacher to build a CAMPUS access list therefore describes a different platform arrangement.

Use the film page for sharing

The current sharing help directs sending the film page’s URL or using the share buttons below the player on the right. That is the actual replacement action for sharing a viewing link. It does not require recreating an access-giving playlist in another account. For several films, retain the individual links so each opens the intended work rather than only a general collection landing page.

Bookmark whole films through My List

Users with an NFB account can add a film through the plus icon on its page or thumbnail. The result is kept in My List for later viewing. Use that feature to organise a personal selection. The publisher presents it as film bookmarking; it does not describe it as a recreated CAMPUS access list or an editor for selecting a section of the film.

Do not expect old saved Clips to reappear

The separate Clips notice says that feature is no longer offered and previously saved clips are no longer accessible on NFB.ca. Its alternative is again My List for whole films. A bookmark consequently does not restore an old clip’s start and end points. Keep the full film link and any useful passage notes separately when replacing a lesson plan built around that retired tool.
