Sakai Tip: Add Lecture Videos to Sakai with Panopto
Sakai’s Resources is a course site’s file manager, but it is not designed to store media files. Instead, enable Panopto in your course site for unlimited storage of lectures and other media, optimized for student viewing no matter what device they use.
Update Your Okta Settings
As you work remotely or deliver courses online, be sure to confirm you have at least two available devices/methods that allow you to complete the two-step login process in Okta. By doing so, you can maintain access when signing into ND services like your Gmail account, Google Apps, Sakai, etc., in case something happens to your primary device/method.
Keep up to date on new hires and colleagues celebrating service anniversaries. Obituaries and memorial information may be found at In Memory. Please contact askHR at 631-5900 to submit obituary and memorial updates.
