UNC School of Medicine is moving from its on-premise Panopto system to UNC’s new Panopto cloud lecture capture system at the end of the spring semester.

Near the end of 2020, School of Medicine IT took steps to block the macOS 11 (Big Sur) upgrade on SOM IT-managed macOS devices upon learning of issues with the upgrade that could result in upgraded School of Medicine machines being left inoperable. Those issues have now been resolved.

Apple recently released a new operating system, macOS 11 (known as Big Sur), and the School of Medicine IT team has seen several issues occurring on devices that have been upgraded to this new version.

Medical students will soon have a one-stop shop for resources, and anyone who works with students, i.e. clinicians and faculty, will more easily be able to keep track of a student’s success.
