The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) is offering free online learning resources for parents and teachers.

Starting on March 27, 2020, the National Film Board of Canada began offering free online learning resources for Canadian families and teachers in order to keep young minds at home engaged during the COVID19 pandemic.

Parents can access a special collection of acclaimed NFB films and learning resources at NFB.ca/education.

All teachers across Canada until June 30, 2020, have free access to CAMPUS, the NFB’s online media portal.

The NFB Education screening room will feature daily films and learning resources chosen by the NFB Education team for K–12 level children, including:

Films and playlists for primary and secondary-level students;

Educational interactive projects or apps;

Mini-lessons that are built around NFB films using curated film clips, paired with activities to encourage deep learning;

225 minutes of groundbreaking experiences from the NFB’s immersive and interactive Ocean School, transforming how we learn about and engage with the ocean.

Ocean School is the result of a dynamic partnership between the National Film Board of Canada, Dalhousie University and the Ocean Frontier Institute.

Nearly four million Canadian K–12 and post-secondary students currently have access to CAMPUS, thanks to agreements with provincial education ministries and school boards.

From now until June 30, the NFB is opening CAMPUS to all educators who are looking for stimulating educational content for distance learning during the outbreak.

CAMPUS features:

A rich collection of 1,300 exclusive documentaries, animated films, interactive productions, and shorts;

Mini-lessons built around an NFB film using curated film clips, paired with activities, to encourage deep learning—written by teachers in the NFB’s educator network;

Study guides, a chaptering tool, and the ability to share chapters and create your own playlists;

Content organized around three key themes: the environment and sustainability; Indigenous voices and reconciliation; diversity and inclusion.

In order to register, teachers just need to contact NFB Customer Service at 1-800-267-7710, or by e-mail at info@nfb.ca.
