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.
What is Knowmia?
TechSmith Knowmia (formerly Relay) is a video creation and sharing platform that helps maximize student engagement in online courses. You can create and upload your own videos, pull content from YouTube or Ted Talks, and embed quizzing for added accountability as well as conversations for added engagement.
