Christina Hunter replied to Sarah Barnard-Mitcham's discussion Deleting Blackboard Collaborate Recordings"Hi Sarah,
From the sounds of what you are wanting to do (delete an individual recording) and the image you included, you will need to contact the person who sets these sessions up in SAS (session administration system) for you and ask them to delete…"
Dan LeBlanc replied to Christina Hunter's discussion Telephony in Blackboard Collaborate"Hello Christina,

Hi, My name is Christina and I have just started working with JISC Netskills at Newcastle University, I have joined the admin team who work with the BB Collab system and deal with the enquiries as well. Last week I received an email asking for advice on how to adapt sessions to work for a blind user as he was finding the sessions inaccessible.
