Hello Faculty:

This post is mostly for you. In this update:

Google Meet and Zoom Stats

By the numbers:

• 1,036 unique users have used a Google Meet in the last thirty days. 773 unique users in the last seven days.
  
  
  
  
  
• There have been 2,960 unique zoom meeting in the month of November (through 20 Novermber).
  
  
  
  
  
• In the past seven days, windows has been used to access our meetings 43% of the time while Mac, iOS, and iPadOS have been used a combined 46% of the time. Your students are using a mobile device to connect roughly 17% of the time; that's one out of six connections.
  
  
  
  
  
• The #1 user of zoom's name (since August) rhymes with Ban Mawson with 9,568 minutes. Number two's rhymes with Jebenezer Bolivera with 8,787 minutes.

Zoom Recording Deletion Procedural Change

As noted in an email I sent out earlier in the week, we will begin automatically deleting Zoom Meeting recordings older than one month.

Beginning Monday, 23 November 2020: We will start deleting older content to make space for active and recent recordings. We reserve the right to automatically delete recordings that are older than one month from the system without notice. Recordings older than a month will be deleted. 

What should I do?

You should download any recordings that you want to retain and upload them either to Google Drive or to your Moodle course. If uploading to Moodle, please follow Wiley guidelines for doing so. Remember to copy it to your master course if you are planning to reuse a recording in a future semester or to your current course if you want to continue to share it with your current students as reference material. 

What is getting deleted

206 recordings will be deleted when we run the cleanup process on Monday. That is all recordings dated 23 October and older.

Help!

Please contact the IT Help Desk if you need assistance in migrating and downloading content you want to retain. We can be reached via email at helpdesk@malone.edu , via the web at http://www.malone.edu/helpdesk or by phone at 330.471.8428.
