Austin Community College has decided that it will not renew our SoftChalk subscription effective August 31, 2023. After that date, users will no longer have access to the SoftChalk platform through ACC.
Blackboard Collaborate video conferencing was recently purchased by Class for Zoom and will no longer be available after the summer 2023 semester. Institutions licensing Blackboard Collaborate will be migrated to Class for Zoom once existing Collaborate contracts reach end of life. Because ACC already licenses Class for Zoom, we will be transitioning to the Class for Zoom product beginning in the fall 2023 semester. End of life for Collaborate will be August 11, 2023 at 5PM. Please download any recordings that you wish to keep prior to that date.
