Teachers using class recording

Information system section.

Mediasite has been used as a lesson recording and distribution system since April 2017.
Currently, recording by Zoom and distribution by Microsoft Stream are the mainstream.
From this year, we will say, "In principle, Mediasite will not be used in class."

From the above, it has been decided that Mediasite will be abolished at the end of 2021.
After the service is discontinued, you will not be able to access the recorded data stored in Mediasite.

It is necessary to download the recorded data sequentially in consideration of the load on the server, etc.
Please make a reservation in advance to download the video.
We would like to carry out this at the Information Systems Division.

The schedule for abolition is as follows.

From December 14, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ⇒ Accepting video download reservations
From January 2022 ⇒ Recording acceptance is over (contact the teacher who has already recorded the lesson individually)
Video download started and handed over to each teacher as soon as it was completed
March 31, 2022 ⇒ Mediasite server abolished

For reservations, please contact the following e-mail address
I would appreciate it if you could request it.

In addition, this case
It has nothing to do with the lesson videos recorded on Zoom or delivered on Stream.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Faculty and Students

Due to the aging of the server for publishing personal home pages, we will discontinue the home page service provided by the URL "http://www.sic.shibaura-it.ac.jp/~userID" on the following schedule.

Date of discontinuation: March 31, 2022

As a replacement service, we will launch the "Google Site" service.
For instructions on how to use the site, please refer to the following URL

　https://web.sic.shibaura-it.ac.jp/google_site

For those of you who are using the current URL (www.sic.shibaura-it.ac.jp/~userID), please migrate to Google Site or other web services because you will not be able to access the site after the server is discontinued.
If you are a faculty member who is currently using this service to publish your laboratory's homepage, etc., and have set up a DNS alias (CNAME), you can set up the same alias on your new Google Site.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

About Microsoft Stream Trouble

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff

This is an announcement from the Information Network System Division.

Subject: Trouble with Microsoft Stream

Since yesterday, there has been a problem with Microsoft Stream.
We are currently investigating the issue, and would like to inform you of the current situation.

Status of the problem:
There is a problem that students are unable to view the video uploaded to Microsoft Stream even after setting the access permissions to allow only those who are enrolled in the class to view the video.
However, this setting is not reflected and students cannot view the videos.

Status of investigation:
We have created a class group as a class template in Microsoft Teams.
The above issue has been occurring since this week when a group with the visibility: HiddenMembers parameter is set to a group created using this class template and set as a Microsoft Stream permissions group.
We are currently inquiring with Microsoft about whether or not the specification has changed and whether or not there is a problem.

What to do for the time being:
If the content of the class video does not contain copyright, you can check the "Allow everyone in the company to view this video" checkbox in the access permission settings, and all students will be able to view it.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We will post an announcement on the Center for Science Information website as soon as the situation progresses.

On Thursday, November 26, from around 15:00, there was a problem with recording in the Zoom cloud (Japan).
At around 17:00 on the same day, as an emergency measure, the location of the cloud recording data was changed from Japan to the U.S., and recording became possible.

At around 19:00 on the same day, we received a call that the problem had been restored, so we changed the storage location of the recording data to the server in Japan.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to users.
