Important Announcement
- SacCT & Collaborate for Mac Users
When using SacCT features or Collaborate (formerly Elluminate) that rely on the Java plug-in, some Mac OS users may be encountering that the Java plug-in is "blocked" or "inactive." This is due to a security update by Apple that disabled older versions of Java. If you or your students experience this problem, an update to Java will fix most cases. For details, please refer to the SacCT Help for Mac Users web page.
- Elluminate is now Blackboard Collaborate
Since the SacCT (WebCT) system will no longer be available after January 31st, 2013, Elluminate within SacCT (WebCT) courses will also no longer be available. Please use Blackboard Collaborate instead, which is a newer version of our former Elluminate software. Blackboard Collaborate can be accessed from SacCT 9.1 (Blackboard) courses and externally, from the public Blackboard Collaborate Sessions schedule.
