Big Blue Button discontinuation from September
Big Blue Button will be discontinued from September and the UL is adopting instead MS Teams as the supported platform for facilitating synchronous online teaching. While MS Teams doesn鈥檛 integrate directly with Brightspace, you can still access Teams easily in Brightspace through links provided in the navigation bars on both the Organisation homepage (under UL Services) and your Module homepage (under Communication).

We recommend users store their videos in OneDrive or Panopto. Panopto documentation has been updated and is curated in Panopto | 黑料社, including a number of
