Keep Your Zoom Updated
Zoom has released a new version – Zoom 5.0. The latest version provides increased protection for meeting data as well as updates to other functionalities.

NBC Learn Discontinued
On June 30, 2020, NBC will discontinue its educational arm, NBC Learn. As a result, learners will no longer be able to view NBC Learn videos in their courses. Resources linked from the NBC Learn navigation feature will be deactivated also and redirected to a 404 error message.
If your courses currently use NBC Learn content, please consider any of the following valuable alternatives:
- FIU library. The university library holds an abundance of media that exceeds that of NBC Learn. Begin exploring the possibilities by using the “Ask us @ FIU Libraries” feature.
- YouTube. The world’s largest repository of videos with native captioning and embedding features. With proper judgment, you can find quality educational videos on YouTube.
- PBS Video. This collection of free videos draws from PBS programs like NOVA and Frontline.
- LinkedIn Learning. A platform that promotes professional development related to business, technology, and creativity with expert-led course videos.
The discontinuation of NBC Learn is a chance to refresh course media. This is especially true for our Summer B and C courses, for which you must establish alternatives promptly. For extra guidance, you can open a Canvas Help case and consult with an instructional designer.
