Video Tutorials
UVU does not have official technology support or data sharing agreements for FERPA protections with any third-party conferencing software (such as Zoom, Hangouts, etc.). Though popular, there are widely circulating reports of Zoom security breaches that are cause for concern. As well, there are major concerns that Canvas Conferences (Big Blue Button) will not scale properly and we do not recommend that you use it as a synchronous meeting tool with your students.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended that all faculty connect with students using the two approved synchronous tools at UVU: (1) Kaltura Live Room or (2) Microsoft Teams. Both tools are secure, easy to deploy, and supported for both faculty and students through the Service Desk and OTL. View our quick tutorials below to get started. Further support on using these tools to connect with students can be found by contacting our office.
