YuJa is SIUE’s New Video Platform
Posted May 11, 2022
by IDLT
YuJa has been selected as the new video platform to replace TechSmith Knowmia at SIUE. The end-of-life for Knowmia at SIUE is June 30, 2022, one of the important dates in the YuJa implementation timeline.
YuJa has a similar look and feel to Knowmia with many more capabilities in video capturing, editing, and searchability within video content. ITS is working with YuJa’s technicians to migrate all video content from Knowmia to SIUE’s YuJa library. In preparation for the migration from TechSmith Knowmia to YuJa, users must login to YuJa for an account to be created. Keep in mind that upon the initial login to YuJa, there will be nothing in your video library. The migration of content from Knowmia to YuJa should be completed in mid- to late May. At that time, YuJa will begin replacing TSK links inside of Blackboard courses, a process that will continue into June.
Training for YuJa is available at introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels and will be offered in both self-paced and live formats.
Self-paced training is now available for the introductory (https://www.siue.edu/its/training/YuJa/Intro/#/) and intermediate (https://www.siue.edu/its/training/YuJa/Intermediate/#/) levels. Advanced training will be available soon.
Live training sessions (via Zoom) are now available and will be offered through the fall semester. To register, visit: https://bit.ly/3O4H6oO If you would like to register for more than one level, the form will need to be submitted multiple times. The details and link to join will be emailed to you the day before your scheduled training.
In addition to training, many resource articles have been created to help faculty, staff, and students learn more about and use YuJa. The suggested YuJa workflow is available at: https://www.siue.edu/its/idlt/docs/yuja-workflow.pdfURL
ITS will continue to share information about YuJa and updates on the migration from Knowmia over the next several weeks. For questions or additional information about YuJa, please visit the YuJa FAQ page or contact the ITS Help Desk at help@siue.edu.
