File Sharing & Cloud Storage

UT Box

UTBox is a campus-wide service that allows faculty, staff, and students at the University of Texas at Austin to use Box cloud-based file sharing for business and academic purposes. UTBox can be accessed from the UT Box home page.

Click here to learn more about UT Box.

 

Google Apps

Google Apps is another free file sharing app that allows faculty and staff to share and collaborate on file much like UT Box. In addition to storing and sharing any type of file, Google also allows you to create documents, slideshows, spreadsheets, forms, and more.

Conferencing & Live Streaming

Zoom

Zoom is the most user-friendly of the web conferencing tools currently available at UT. One of the best things about Zoom is that ANYONE can use it, faculty, students, staff, guest speakers, you name it. If you don’t already have a Zoom account, click here to get started: https://zoom.its.utexas.edu/

Or, take a deeper dive into Zoom here.

 

Big Blue Button

Built right in to Canvas (under the Conferences tab), BigBlueButton is a virtual conferencing platform that allows you to schedule, and conduct virtual presentations, lectures, and conferences. It even has the ability to record sessions and save the recording for up to 2 weeks. Since it’s built in to your Canvas course, attendees of your virtual sessions must be enrolled in your course.

Adobe connect

Adobe Connect is the web conferencing tool supported and paid for by UT. Though it is a very powerful tool, it does have a substantial learning curve and can take some getting used to for many users. Only faculty and staff at UT can create meetings in Adobe Connect. Students do not have the ability to initiate virtual meetings with this tool.

Online Testing

 

Remote Proctoring

Proctorio

Proctorio is the “remote proctoring” tool used here in the School for many but not all quizzes and exams.
