• Don’t Delete Duplicate Collaborate Recordings (Friday, October 25, 2013)
  

  Instructors, if you are recording Collaborate sessions from a SacCT course, you will see 2-3 duplicate recordings for every session you record.  This is a new known issue with Collaborate in SacCT courses.  Do NOT delete any of the duplicate recordings.  Deleting one or more of the duplicate recordings will remove the entire recording from the course.  Students and other course users, can access the specific day’s recording by clicking on any of the duplicate recording links.
