EIU was alerted that Techsmith will be shutting down its Knowmia service permanently. For EIU this likely means Knowmia will no longer be available after the Spring 2021 semester. We are extremely disappointed by this announcement. Thank you for supporting new technology at EIU and we apologize that in this case we weren't able to fully launch the new tool. When we learn more about our transition off Knowmia, our team will be in touch by email and a notice will be posted on this page. If you have questions or concerns, please contact ITS at support@eiu.edu
