You asked and now you shall receive! This newsletter is all about YuJa! Check out information below on what YuJa is, where you can find it, what to expect regarding transitioning and migration to YuJa, list of workshops on YuJa Basics and where you can get help!
Yuja is our new video platform that allows faculty to record, upload and share videos for students! It is integrated right into Canvas and will be replacing VidGrid over the current academic year.
YuJa is now available in Canvas; look for the YuJa Video button in the navigation bar of your Canvas courses. YuJa can also be accessed through the direct YuJa UNO login page.
TRANSITION TO YUJA
UNO is transitioning to YuJa throughout the 2022-2023 academic year. Please note that VidGrid will be available through the end of the Spring 2023 semester as we work through the transition and migration process. Although VidGrid is available, we encourage you to begin using YuJa whenever you are comfortable. In order to best optimize the migration of data from VidGrid to YuJa, please minimize the use of VidGrid starting in December of this year. Now is a great time to look through, organize, and remove any unneeded videos from VidGrid; this will help clean-up your own collection of content and make the migration process go quicker.
MIGRATION
Don't worry; we're going to do all the work! All videos in VidGrid will be moved to YuJa as part of an 8-week migration process, beginning on November 28th, 2022. During the first 4 weeks of the migration process, your videos will be copied from VidGrid to YuJa; during the second 4 weeks, VidGrid video links and embeds in your Canvas courses will be replaced with the new videos in YuJa. In addition to moving the videos, all existing closed captioning, folder structures, and video quizzes from VidGrid will be migrated as well. For video quizzes, the only work you'll need to do is re-add them to Canvas as assignments, once the migration process is completed.
A second "catch up" migration will begin at the end of the Spring 2023 semester for videos added to VidGrid after November 28th. This second migration will only consist of copying videos from VidGrid to YuJa and will NOT update links in Canvas. No videos will be removed from VidGrid until the end of our contract on June 30th, 2023.
WORKSHOPS
Many individuals have already begun to use YuJa and have attended training sessions during August or September. To make sure all people have the opportunity to receive training on YuJa, Digital Learning will continue to offer a YuJa training session every week through the month of December. Training sessions are listed below.
Struggling with YuJa or can't make our training sessions? Set-up a 30 minute one-on-one meeting with one of our Instructional Technologists or Instructional Designers! We can help with your specific questions or use cases and provide smart strategies for video in your instruction.
You can also drop into our virtual support room with your YuJa questions anytime between 9:00a.m. and 4:00p.m., Monday through Friday. Access our virtual drop-in room through Canvas by clicking on the help icon in the global navigation bar, or click the button below.
