USG’s Information Technology Services (ITS) has requested instructors delete Blackboard Collaborate Ultra recordings that are no longer needed for their courses. USG needs to reduce server storage space to avoid extra fees.
Please complete these deletions before the winter break.
Collaborate Ultra is the video conferencing software used for interactive online meetings or classes. This is not to be confused with Kaltura, UNG’s video platform. Only Collaborate Ultra recordings need to be removed.
Download and save copies from Collaborate Ultra to a computer. These videos can be saved to Kaltura, UNG’s video platform integrated with eLearning@UNG (D2L). Kaltura videos can be edited, closed-captioned, and streamed in a class module.
