Status Report 3-3-21

BlueJeans usage continues to decline as the May 1 retirement date approaches. February statistics were down in all categories, even with classes being in session for the full month. We expect usage to continue to decline in March and April as final user reminders are sent. BlueJeans was removed as a meeting type from Remote Office Hours Queue (ROHQ) on 2/23/2021, another key step in directing people toward Zoom.

Users who have continued to hold BlueJeans meetings will receive reminders of the retirement in early March and early April. In mid-April, users who have made recordings in the past several months will receive a reminder to download recordings before May 1.

Some of the key metrics we use to measure progress across the retirement project are provided below.
