<Title>Known Issue: Students Can't Access Bb Course Files</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">DoIT is tracking a problem that has emerged in a dozen Fall 2011 Blackboard courses in which students see the following error:
    
    <blockquote>
    <img alt="The specified resource was not found or you do not have permission to access it." src="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/2011-09-07_0805.png" width="400" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
    </blockquote>
    
    <strong>Workaround</strong>
    
    Actually, the files DO exist in the course, but need to be <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/cQBpAQ" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">re-linked</a> (NOT re-uploaded). We understand this is a challenging problem and workaround at a very hectic time of year. We have submitted a support ticket into Blackboard, which is working to dentify the cause of this problem. We will update UMBC Bb instructors as we learn more.</div>

<Title>Known Issue: Blackboard Supported Browsers</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">DoIT staff have received a number of reports from faculty and students regarding incompatibilities between Blackboard and some of the newer versions of web browsers. Examples include the gradecenter not loading completely, documents not being accessible, and quiz links not working. As previously reported, the version of Blackboard we run (Bb Learn 9.1 SP 2) is fixed, whereas web browsers are not. The workaround for this known issue is to use one of the officially supported browsers.
    
    To view a list of ALL supported browsers please read our faq on 	<a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/RgdQ">https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/RgdQ</a></div>

<Title>Blackboard Weekly Maintenance Schedule Reminder</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">This is just a friendly reminder to the UMBC campus community of the <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2007/09/weekly_blackboa.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Blackboard weekly maintenance schedule window </a>from Friday 10 pm to Saturday 1 am.  Although this maintenance window is not always utilized, DoIT Staff will now be regularly implementing server updates on the last Friday of each month, starting with August 26, 2011. Reminder notices about the downtime will be posted several days in advance.  Blackboard instructors should take note of the weekly maintenance window, and as a general rule, refrain from assigning any work that is due on Blackboard during this time.  Similarly students should understand that Blackboard may be unavailable each week from Friday 10 pm  - Saturday 1 am.
