As previously announced, SUNY ITEC is currently in conversation with Panopto about a seamless transition to the new media server and video storage platform in the coming weeks. The current migration plan is for any videos that remain in Ensemble to be migrated automatically to Panopto. Before the transition, please delete or archive any videos in your Ensemble account that are no longer in use to reduce the number of videos that need to be migrated and help save on storage costs with Panopto.

• Clean up files in Ensemble Media Library.
• Schedule an appointment with Instructional Design and Distance Learning. Again, we're available over the summer, too!

Please feel free to contact us through the Media Server (Ensemble Video) ticket system using “Report an Issue” from the drop-down menu with any questions you may have that are not answered by the links included in this announcement. You may also use that ticket to request that your Ensemble account be deleted before the migration if you no longer use it.

Be sure to monitor campus communications (email and Daily Bulletin) about future workshop opportunities on the new media server.

As previously announced, Blackboard Collaborate Ultra and its recordings stored in Blackboard Learn or in your Collaborate Supervisor account will no longer be accessible as of 3:00 p.m. Thursday, June 30.

Please note that any existing Blackboard Collaborate recordings will not be archived automatically and are the responsibility of individual users to save as needed before the end of June. Download any Collaborate recordings that need to be saved and store them in OneDrive (to be archived) or Ensemble Video (for active usage).

If you need an alternative web conferencing solution, we support Microsoft Teams meetings.

• Microsoft Support Teams meetings video training
• Buffalo State IT Portal - Schedule online meetings with Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Teams for Blackboard Learn, Sunsetting Blackboard Collaborate Ultra
• Schedule an appointment with Instructional Design and Distance Learning. We're here over the summer, too!

The Creative Studies Collection in Butler Library is being temporarily relocated to the southeast quadrant of the second floor (C–K). The collection will be housed just past the Oversized area. Signs have been posted to direct patrons to the correct location.

This move is happening as the library is improving physical spaces over the next year.

Please contact Joe Riggie, the library's head of information management, with questions.

The current security certificate for the campus wireless network expires Thursday, June 30. As a reminder, faculty and staff members have a choice of wireless connections on campus: Bengal, the secure wireless network, or BengalOpen16, the public wireless network. Employees are strongly encouraged to use the secure connection (Bengal) for reasons of convenience and security.

The campus uses a third-party application, Cloudpath, to deliver the security certificate to users’ mobile devices. This security certificate allows employees to use their Buffalo State credentials to connect to the Buffalo State secure wireless network (Bengal). Once users install this certificate and log in, they should remain logged in until the certificate expires. The certificate is good for one year. The current certificate expires June 30. Please update your certificate now.

To update your certificate, use your mobile device to go to the Buffalo State Secure Wireless page. Click “Enroll Your Device” and follow the directions. Do this for each mobile device that you use to connect to the Buffalo State secure wireless network.

The Higher Education Administration Department offers three distinctive programs that may be of interest to staff members looking to advance their careers. Staff members may also use tuition benefits supported through CSEA and UUP to complete coursework.

M.S. in Higher Education and Student Affairs Administration (HESAA)
The HESAA program is a professional preparation program that prepares individuals to work in the dynamic environment of colleges and universities in administrative and student support roles.

Advanced Certificate in Assessment in Student Affairs (fully online)
The ASA program is designed to equip practitioners with the skills to gather information, the ability to understand the nature and value of formal inquiry, and the opportunity to serve as change agents within their institution through assessment.

Microcredential in Data Management and Storytelling (fully online)
This microcredential will equip professionals with the foundational knowledge and technical skills to manage and analyze data, identify patterns within datasets, and learn how to effectively communicate those stories through more interactive visual models. (Coursework enhances students' knowledge of Tableau specifically.)

With questions about any of these programs, please email HEA Department Chair Amy Wilson.
