Recently scammers began distributing malware through fake CAPTCHAs by adding so-called “verification steps.” The fake CAPTCHAs can be found on any ordinary website through ads accepted by the site or by other compromised content.
In response to feedback, the Learning Systems team in OTDI launched a service improvement plan to strategically enhance Mediasite. Updates included automated captioning, browser-based recording, and an improved experience within Canvas.
The media player for recordings created or uploaded to CarmenCanvas has been updated, with increased accessibility, adaptive streaming, and new privacy features. The media player is best used for short (1-3 minute) videos.
As part of a larger initiative to create a cohesive digital experience at Ohio State, the Buckeye UX (BUX) theme will be applied to CarmenCanvas on May 1. Functionality for the learning management system will remain the same, but the look and feel will shift to the BUX style.
This update does not affect the OSUWMC OnBase instance or the Office of Advancement OnBase instance.
On Saturday, May 17, 2025, the Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) will update the OnBase hardware and services. Enterprise Document Management (EDM) service will be unavailable during the maintenance window from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

As we near the end of the 2024/2025 Microsoft Enterprise Agreement year, anyone who wants to purchase a NEW elevated Microsoft license must do so by April 28 to avoid delays in receiving the license. This is because licenses are aligned with the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement year (June 1 – May 31), not with Ohio State’s fiscal year. Our partner, Microsoft Reseller Software House International (SHI), will contact users with existing licenses if a license renewal is required. The university continues to provide Microsoft Office 365 to all university users.
