End-of-Service for Blackboard Collaborate

UHCL currently licenses and supports several web conferencing systems for instructional and campus operation use, including Zoom, Blackboard Collaborate, and Teams meetings. To reduce costs and streamline user support for web conferencing, OIT discontinued supporting Blackboard Collaborate in February 2022. All existing Collaborate recordings were migrated to Echo360 and are available to content owners in that application. 

Previous Collaborate users are encouraged to familiarize themselves with Zoom for their web conferencing needs. As a reminder, Zoom sessions may now be integrated within Blackboard. We recommend that new Zoom users take advantage of the Zoom Daily Live Webinars described below.
