No, it’s not necessary to have an NFB.ca account to access NFB Education resources. However, you will need a licence. Check with your educational institution to see if it has a licence to use NFB Education in the classroom.
An NFB.ca account is required to access the Digital Storytelling workshop from Media School or the MARC cataloguing records.
Creating an NFB.ca account also offers the following advantages:
- My List: You can add films to the “My List” section for easy retrieval;
- Personalized suggestions: You will receive personalized film suggestions based on your viewings.
So, while creating an account is not mandatory, it will enhance your user experience on NFB.ca.
Licences are available to teaching staff and educational institutions. To learn more, contact us.
