Spring 2023 YuJa update

The first migration of content from VidGrid to YuJa is complete. The initial migration included any content created in VidGrid prior to Oct. 30, 2022. These videos can be accessed in your YuJa account under the “My Media Collections” folder in a sub-folder labeled with your email address.

General Updates:

• Faculty are encouraged to create new content directly in YuJa going forward.
  
• Quizzes that were created in VidGrid have been migrated to YuJa.
  
• Unfortunately, if a video created in VidGrid had a customized thumbnail image, these images were lost in the migration. A heads up, since a video with a thumbnail image in VidGrid may look different at first glance in YuJa.
  
• A second “catch-up” migration of videos from VidGrid to YuJa will take place in May 2023 to copy the videos created in VidGrid after October 30th, 2022, that were not included in the first migration.
  
• All content in VidGrid will remain accessible until June 30, 2023.

• YuJa is currently developing a tool that will enable the ITS team to automatically update existing VidGrid video links in Canvas courses to the new YuJa video links (a process commonly referred to as “link swapping”). This process will not be completed until March.
  
• Once complete, the priority will be getting summer and fall course links swapped/updated.
  
• Videos created in VidGrid are all still accessible there and will continue to function through the end of June 2023. This means that for any Spring 2023 Regular Sessions Canvas courses with linked VidGrid content, there is nothing to update or change.
  
• Faculty are welcome to update their video links from VidGrid to YuJa as they are updating courses if they prefer.
