Campus Pack Update

Campus Pack Update:

Over the holiday break, on Wednesday December 29, our version of Campus Pack (which includes Blogs, Wiki, Podcast, Journal) will be updated to include new features. These features include:

  • Batch Creation of Content : Instructors no longer need to manually create individual and group assignments (for example, Class Journal/Response or Wikis) one-at-a-time. This will allow a batch creation of all of them at once instead.

  • Authenticated RSS Feeds: Campus Pack 4.4 will support RSS everywhere. The authenticated RSS feature enables RSS access to all content in Campus Pack, whether public to the world or shared privately to a limited audience.
Next week we will receive more information about the exact times the upgrade will occur, and testing the changes and will post them here. Stay tuned.

Blackboard Test Issue Resolved

As of 8:50 p.m., tests are back up and running. Thank you for your patience as we worked to fix the issue.

Blackboard Test/Quiz Issue - 11/01/2010

UPDATE: As of 6 p.m. Central time, the Test/Quiz feature on Blackboard is still not functioning. The Bb Team is still working to correct the problem.



SHSU Blackboard is currently experiencing issues when trying to open Tests - this is the error received:

HTTP Status 404 - /webapps/bbgs-acxiom-bb_bb60/execute/acxiomGateway

The Blackboard Team is working diligently on correcting the problem, and we will be sending out an e-mail to all faculty when it is resolved.
