We offer Swank for our teachers - this service gives you access to full-length feature films and documentaries that line up well with a high school curriculum. To access the films, use the following information:
- Username: the first part of your HW email address (ex: edarling)
- Password: Welcome1 (Please change this password once you log in for the first time)
*If you joined HW after 2020, your initial password is W0lver1ne!
Requesting Titles
The main collection includes 200 films. If the title you're looking for isn't available, look for the REQUEST button. We'll get a notification from Swank to add it to the collection. We will approve your title, and most are available within 48 hours.
Sharing with Students
To share a title with students for viewing on their own schedule, select the direct link and share it with them.
Use either the LMS link or the Direct Link.
Both will require that you share a generic student user name and password in your messages/syllabi or on the Hub.
