Bb will be down April 14-15

From Bb Admin...

A hardware enhancement to the Blackboard infrastructure will take place during an extended maintenance period beginning Saturday evening April 14 at 9:00pm ET until Sunday morning April 15, 9:00a.m. ET. This hardware upgrade is to ensure system stability, improve storage utilization, and optimize performance. All Blackboard courses will be unavailable during this time. All content and student work on the current system will remain intact when Blackboard is back online Sunday morning. When KCTCS colleges’ students, faculty, and staff browse to http://elearning.kctcs.edu they will view a maintenance notice explaining the offline activities.

If you are teaching during this time, please alert your students and remind them to download any materials they may need during this time. If you are a KCTCS Online Learn on Demand instructor, students may need extended time to complete their modules.
