IMPORTANT NOTICE: |
In May 2023, Big Blue Button (BBB) will reach end of life in Brightspace and at Carleton University. All BBB recordings, shared notes, and chats must be manually saved by April 30, 2023. To avoid losing any content, please follow the steps in our support video on Self Migrating Your BBB Content.
Brightspace users will no longer be able to create and host new BBB sessions in their courses. Please download and save any materials from past BBB sessions in Brightspace before April 30, 2023. Instructors are encouraged to transition to Zoom for their online classes and meetings. To get started, visit the BBB to Zoom Crosswalk support page. Remember! Teaching and Learning Services (TLS) is here to help! Consultations are available to assist with this transition. If you are interested in booking a consultation, or have any questions regarding this upcoming change, please open a support request via the TLS Support Portal. |
