<Title>SU2011 Bb Course Shells Created on 4/19</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Bb course shells for SU 2011 were created on April 19, and will continue to be updated daily. Bb shells were created for all courses (designated as lecture, lab, or discussion) listed in the <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/registrar/schedule/index.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Schedule of Classes (SOC)</a>, provided that there was an <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2010/08/how_new_employe_1.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">instructor of record</a> listed. The addition of new course sections and instructors will result in new Bb shells being automatically generated each morning. Student enrollment in Bb will continue to mirror the official registration in SA, and will update multiple times daily.
    
    If you are an instructor, and your name is not associated with the course you are teaching in the <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/registrar/schedule/index.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">SOC</a>, please see your departmental scheduling coordinator to get that issue resolved.
    
    Additionally in situations where one instructor is teaching multiple sections of the same course, by default all sections will be combined into one Bb course shell. If you want to have separate shells for different sections, or if you need a shell for for a research or independent study course, please submit a <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/oit/newmedia/blackboard/help/newcoursereq.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">new course request</a>.
    
    As a reminder, all <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/oit/newmedia/blackboard/help/procedures.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Bb course shells are initially unavailable</a> to students until the <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/oit/newmedia/blackboard/help/MakeAvail.htm" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">instructor makes it available</a>.</div>

<Title>Known Issue: "Not Enough Space on Disk" Error Message...</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Full Title: Known Issue: "Not Enough Space on Disk" Error Message (RESOLVED)At approximately 10 am, Friday, April 15, DoIT staff received multiple reports from both faculty and students of a "not enough space on disk" error message on Blackboard.  Typically this error message was returned when users were trying to upload documents, create assessments or complete assignments and quizzes.  The cause of this error was isolated to one of the four Blackboard application servers.  Several key routine "housekeeping" tasks had failed to run on this server, resulting in the disk space usage error.  This server was restarted at approximately 2 pm and the problem has been resolved.
    
    Thank you for your patience.</div>
