Note: Please keep in mind that the permanent links for Can-Core’s videos require every individual who has the link to have already created a personal account with Can-Core. At this point, Can-Core has yet to set up a system where students can sign in with their UFV credentials. Therefore, it is easiest to create a list and include the access key in order to share Can-Core video links with students. Please see the tab Share Playlist.
