Elluminate to Collaborate Transition
Published:
Monday, April 8, 2013 - 08:42
Hello,
Effective May 16, 2013 we will no longer be using the
Elluminate
product. After that date, we will be using a product
called
Collaborate for all synchronous and asynchronous class
sessions.
Collaborate is very similar product, but has an enhanced
interface
which is superior in many ways to the Elluminate interface,
audio
quality being the most important.
We will be scheduling training sessions on the use of
Collaborate
before Summer sessions begin and also before the Fall
semester.
Dates to be announced.
Any Elluminate recordings that are you wish to have access
to in
the future must be downloaded from the servers at ITEC prior
to the
cutover date (5/16/2013),
Blackboard provides a program called PUBLISH to download
and
convert your recordings to a format that can be viewed
without the
Elluminate service. If you do not publish your recorded
sessions
prior to the cutover date (5/16/2013 ) you will not be able
to
access them. All files will be deleted from ITEC’s
system
after the cutover
Since the files may be large from 10-125MB depending on the
length,
you may not have enough hard drive space to store your
sessions. These sessions can be stored on a cloud service
such as
Dropbox or Google Drive. You can also burn them to a
DVD or
purchase an external hard drive to store them. If you
need
help setting these up, please contact Kevin Volo, ext.7167.
