<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 Monday, June 6.  It was restarted as of 9 am Thursday, June 9.
    
    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 are working to identify the cause of this error.
    
    We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to ensure that it does not occur in the future.</div>

<Title>End of LO Building Block in Bb (Blogs/ Wikis/ Journals)</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">As of SU2011 DoIT is discontinuing the use of the Learning Objects (LO) building block in Blackboard, including the 3rd party Campus Pack blogs, wikis and journals.  Blackboard includes similar tools as components in the Learn 9.1 release, and they have been available for instructors to use since the <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2010/04/major_blackboar.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">major upgrade </a>in May 2010.  Having two different tools (one native to Bb and one from a 3rd party vendor) to accomplish the same thing has been a source of frustration to instructors.  DoIT staff recommend that instructors who wish to keep a record of any of the Campus Pack blogs, wikis or journals from their courses, <a href="http://screencast.com/t/XrMZs8e4MD" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">export them as html files</a> prior to May 26, 2011.  After that date, these items will no longer be accessible in your old Bb courses.
    
    DoIT staff thanks you for your patience during this transition period.</div>
