Reminder: Upcoming Technology Changes

Two educational technologies will be changing in the coming months and may require actions on your part to ensure a smooth transition:

Blackboard Collaborate Ultra (web conferencing): Contract ends June 30, 2022

When the SUNY contract with Blackboard Inc. ends, this will include Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, the web conferencing and recording component. While Blackboard Learn (LMS) will still be available until January 2023, Blackboard Collaborate will be unavailable for use after the spring 2022 semester. We recommend using an alternative for any summer 2022 courses and beyond.

Ensemble Video: Acquired by Panopto: Contract ends June 30, 2022.

Ensemble Video was acquired by Panopto in April 2021. SUNY ITEC is currently in conversation with Panopto about a seamless transition to the new platform. Before the transition, please delete or archive any videos that are no longer in use to reduce the number of videos that need to be migrated and help save on storage costs with Panopto.

Be sure to monitor campus communications (email and Daily Bulletin) about future workshop opportunities on the new media server.
