<Title>Known Issue: Bb Course Auto Enrollment  (RESOLVED)</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The auto enrollment script that takes students who are officially enrolled in SA and places them into the corresponding Blackboard course shell stopped working on Thursday, Jan. 13.  It was restarted as of 12 pm, Tuesday, Jan. 25.
    
    Typically the Blackboard servers receive students enrollment data from the SA system multiple times daily; in this instance the data feeds were no longer being sent from SA to Blackboard.  DoIT staff have identified the issue and are working on the creation of business processes to ensure that this does not happen in the future.</div>

<Title>Update and Tips on Blackboard Faculty Support</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">As I <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2010/08/doit_announces_2.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">announced this past summer</a>, DoIT is no longer using Presidium Learning for Blackboard faculty support (it is intended only for 24/7 support of students). Instead, DoIT's <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/oit" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Help Desk</a> and <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/oit/itnm" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Instructional Technology &amp; New Media</a> (ITNM) unit are providing basic and advanced Blackboard faculty support, respectively. After consulting the <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blackboard/help" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Blackboard Help</a> site, the best way to reach both groups is to submit an RT (<a href="http://rt.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Request Tracker</a>) "ticket" by logging into <a href="http://rt.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://rt.umbc.edu</a> or using the <a href="https://my.umbc.edu/help" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">myUMBC "help" link</a>. Apart from not sitting in any one person's email inbox, using RT helps us triage and collaborate on your support request.</div>
