The Great Courses offers informational and instructional videos organized in series.
When you add The Great Courses to your Kanopy collection, your patrons can access them directly in the Kanopy app or website.
Once your patrons press play on any title in a series, they have access to the entire series for a rolling 30-day window.
Pricing and invoicing
Your library is charged for The Great Courses based on a pay-per-use (PPU) model. Each time a patron plays a series from The Great Courses, your library is billed $5. (Charges are incurred per series, not per title.)
The fee is charged on the date your patron first plays a title from a series and is invoiced at the end of each calendar month. These charges are listed as "KSeries" on your invoice.
Limiting plays per month
The Great Courses draws from a separate play credit pool than other Kanopy titles.
You can set a cap on monthly series plays for The Great Courses as part of the onboarding process for your Kanopy platform. You can also set or change that cap at any time by contacting support.
Once users reach the limit you set, they won't be able to start any new series from The Great Courses until the next calendar month. They'll continue to have access to any series they've already started until the rolling 30-day window expires.
Tracking usage
You can view The Great Courses usage data on your administrative dashboard in the Analytics tab. The Monthly Budget Tracker (under "Usage") and the Patrons report (under "Audience") provide the number of KSeries charges and series played for the time frame specified.
