As reported previously, there have been a number of issues with auto creation and enrollment of Blackboard courses since the December 23 upgrade: 12/29/11: Spring 2012 Bb courses were auto created but auto enrollment is still once a day 12/28/11: Bb auto enrollment changed from every two hours to once a day 12/26/11: Winter 2012 courses were manually created by hand, not auto created Basically, DoIT has had to completely re-engineer Bb's integration with the Student Administration (SA) system, a project we'd planned for Summer 2012. Good news? It is nearly completed and appears to be working. Bad news? It is not fully tested.
