The Charles Sturt licence for Adobe Connect will end on 28 November 2020 and many staff have already started using Zoom for their online classes and staff meetings.
What you need to do
If you have not yet started using Zoom you should create a Zoom account.
If you have content and/or recordings in Adobe Connect, this data will become unavailable on 28 November. You need to start thinking about which content and recordings you would like to keep.
We recommend you archive your content in the Digital Object Management System (DOMS) and archive your recordings in CSU Replay (Panopto).
