Starting January 17, 2022, ITS will be archiving Blackboard Collaborate recordings as a part of our Blackboard Course archiving process announced earlier this year. The criteria used to determine which Collaborate recordings to archive will be the same as the existing course archiving process. Any Collaborate recording contained within a course that has a term end date greater than 395 days old (one year plus 30 days) will be flagged for archiving. This change will impact recordings associated with term 1204 forward. Recordings made prior to 1204 will not be impacted.
Upcoming archiving dates:
- Courses and Collaborate recordings from term 1204 will be disabled and archived on Jan 17, 2022.
- Courses and Collaborate recordings from term 1211 will be disabled and archived on May 23, 2022.
Future archiving dates can be found here along with additional archiving related resources: its.niagaracollege.ca/blackboard-course-site-archiving-dates/
Additionally, the CAE has created several useful videos to assist with the transition. They can be found at the links below:

Uploading and Captioning Lesson Recordings Using MS Stream
As is the case with course archives, Collaborate recordings will no longer be accessible within Blackboard once archived. ITS has access to these archives and can supply that information on request.
