As UB continues to proactively respond to the international coronavirus outbreak, we are committed to providing resources and training to support faculty, students and staff.
Here are some brief highlights of a few of UB’s technology resources for teaching and collaborating remotely:
With Panopto, use any device to create dynamic educational videos by capturing voice and video and combining it with presentation slides and more. Panopto features easy editing and captioning, and easy ways to share videos with students and analyze their participation.
UBbox is secure cloud storage for everyone at UB. It has powerful features for collaboration and integrates with apps like Microsoft Office Online and Google Docs.
UB Learns is an online environment to create, deliver and manage course content, as well as monitor participation and assess performance among learners. Many UB online services (like Panopto and UBbox) integrate with UB Learns for a seamless learning experience.
Host online office hours or group meetings with Zoom or Webex’s private virtual meeting rooms. Collaborate using voice, video and/or chat, share your screen and record meetings for later.
