[Plantsci] FW: Blackboard Collaborate Ends August 31 - Recordings will be deleted in 14 days.

[Marquez, Mario A - (marquezm)]

Blackboard Collaborate Ends August 31 - Recordings will be deleted in 14 days.

The campus contract with Blackboard Collaborate ends on August 31, 2015. If you have any recordings that you want to keep and use for a future course then you need to download them to your local computer. Steps for saving a recording can be found here:

If the longer url does not work then please try this url and look for the link on the right side of the page, http://oia.arizona.edu/resource/collaborate.

Adobe Connect is the new product taking the place of Blackboard Collaborate. It is currently available through D2L. It will be available in Eller 's Blackboard Learn within 1-2 weeks. We hope to have it available outside of an LMS by October 31, 2015. When that is the case it will be available here: http://oia.arizona.edu/resource/adobe-connect 

I recommend scheduling a 1:1 session with one of the following people as this will be the fastest and easiest way to learn Adobe Connect:

Dwight Farris dfarris at email.arizona.edu
Jeffrey Jones jeffreyjones at email.arizona.edu Malcolm Elliott malcolm at email.arizona.edu Gregory Anderson gka at email.arizona.edu

You might also check within your college as Colleges of Education, Eller, Agriculture and Life Sciences, Engineering, and Nursing have someone available locally who has been trained in Adobe Connect. 

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns then please contact Mark Felix at mwfelix at email.arizona.edu. 

Thank you,
Mark Felix
