How can I learn more about the feature improvements associated with the upgrade?

The Faculty Technology Center will be offering a "Welcome to eLive 9.6" workshop during December and January. Faculty members are encouraged to attend the sessions either in person or via eLive. Sessions will run for 60 minutes and include time for Q&A.

How will this affect my current session recordings?

In the testing IT Services has done so far, it does not appear that this upgrade will impact faculty access to the current session recordings. We encourage each faculty member to check the links to the recordings after the upgrade and contact IT Services Call Center at (907) 786-4646 option 1 or toll free (877) 633-3888 if you observe any changes or inconsistencies.
