Attention Faculty!

Blackboard Collaborate will be removed as an option in courses at the end of autumn 2021 semester. Zoom is the College’s online conferencing tool for courses in the spring 2022 semester.

Columbus State is running out of storage space for Collaborate recordings, and previous semester recordings must be deleted!

Many instructors embraced Blackboard Collaborate during the past year after the pandemic hit – using it in very productive and innovative ways to reach students.

However, the numerous Collaborate recordings saved in classes exceed our Blackboard storage restrictions. This applies to Collaborate recordings ONLY.

We’re asking you to delete any Collaborate recordings from your classes that you don’t need, and save any recordings you want to keep to My Media.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

1. Download your Collaborate recordings from Blackboard: PDF tutorial | Video tutorial
2. Upload your Collaborate recordings to My Media video storage space: PDF tutorial | Video tutorial
3. Insert your My Media videos in your Blackboard course: PDF tutorial | Video tutorial
4. DELETE your Collaborate recordings from Blackboard: PDF tutorial | Video tutorial

RECOMMENDED: Caption your My Media videos: PDF tutorial | Video tutorial coming soon!
