TechSmith Knowmia: Heading off into the Sunset

TechSmith recently announced that it will be sunsetting the TechSmith Knowmia (formerly Relay) product over the course of 2022 in order to focus on its media creation and editing products, Snagit and Camtasia.

What does this mean for you? For now, nothing!  You do not need to immediately download or move your entire library. You may also continue to utilize TechSmith Knowmia for recording and sharing of your instructional materials. But, as word travels fast in the education sphere, we wanted you to know we are aware, and we are working on it! Over the coming year, ATSI staff will work closely with TechSmith to develop migration plans to move content to our existing Kaltura MediaSpace platform or other platforms based on what will maintain the best service for our campus. This process will include opportunities for input by the instructional community as to what will be best for you.

We will release updates on plans and how you can help us evaluate replacement tools and processes over the course of 2021. In the meantime, just keep doing what you are doing- amazing work with our students!

Questions? ATSI can be reached via email.
