[Eril-l] Considering an all-campus Kanopy PDA subscription

[VanUllen, Mary K]

I agree you should ask Kanopy for an estimate.  They were pretty accurate for us, too, but part of the cost will be a result of how much you promote the resource.

One thing to be aware of is that the cost may go up sharply after a period of time.  We are on our third year.  It took a little time for it to take off, but now Kanopy is extremely popular on our campus.  I see that many of the titles that are set to expire are still getting significant use.  Most will likely be triggered again, along with a new batch of titles.  I still think it's a good value and more and more faculty are looking to us to provide streaming video, so we are going to continue with it for now.

Have you asked Kanopy for data on a school your size?  They can tell you what a typical institution of your size spends on their PDA program in a year.

In our case, we're much larger - 22000 FTE - and they recommended a deposit of $20k for a year.  We only had $5k to spend, so we did a pilot.  We spent out that 5k in a quarter. So they were right in recommending the 20k.

So trying to figure out how quickly our 250 students and faculty  would run thru our budget for a Kanopy PDA program, I calculated this: (I've excised the actual price because I'm not sure if that is  quoted differently per institution?).









2/month limit, thru budget in 3 months





250

people



250

people





5

films per month



2

films per month





12

months



3

months





6.5%

chance this is a film already seen by 3 other (visits or users?)

6.5%

975

Triggers



97.5

triggers





$          .00

per trigger



$          .00

per trigger





$  .00

annual cost



$    0

annual cost

















































































































































So thinking about the 80% rule distributed across a group of films







This probably overestimates the trigger%:











1 use

2 uses

3 uses

triggered at 4

5 or more uses

sum

# with this many uses

                      80

                                                      40

              20

                      10

                                               5

           155









6.5%






I'd be glad to hear from others who have made/are making this decision and what your experience or calculations show.
