Welcome to the Latest Edition!

Good morning Rotman!
Below you will find information on a new way to deliver live classes and create asynchronous videos on Zoom using Powerpoint slides as a virtual background. The effect is high-impact and may breathe new life into your on-screen style.
We're also encouraged by the vendor presentations that began last week for a new enterprise webinar solution for the University. As you may know, Blackboard Collaborate's contract with UofT expires at the end of this summer. We encourage you to keep an eye out for upcoming presentation details and attend where you're able. This is your opportunity to provide input into the selection process.
Similarly, the procurement process for an enterprise plagiarism detection and academic integrity support solution is underway. Turnitin.com and Ouriginal Inc. will be holding presentations this week on Wednesday and Thursday. You can register using the links below:
Ouriginal Session 1 - June 9 - 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
Ouriginal Session 2 - June 9 - 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Turnitin Session 1 - June 10 - 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
Turnitin Session 2 - June 10 - 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.
We would also like to remind you about the upcoming June 30th deadline to download any Blackboard Collaborate recordings that you would like to keep. All recordings made prior to May 1, 2021 will be purged after June 30th. Instructions on how to download your recordings are here.
