[BB] Blog/Wiki Upgrade & Grade Center bug

Bb Users,

I have updated our Blog and Wiki tools. Here are some of the new features. If you have any problems with any of these tools, please let me know or submit a help desk ticket.

  • Spell-checker
  • MathFlow™ equation editor
  • Easier options for uploading, linking to, and playing videos
  • Email notification of content changes to blogs and wikis
  • RSS feeds for wikis

Also, if you experience a problem with the Grade Center where when you enter a grade, it says “Saving…” but never updates the grade, please submit a help desk ticket, and if you’re in a hurry you may want try a different browser. The problem has occurred in both browsers, but hasn’t been reported in both browsers for the same person (yet). I am trying to figure out what causes this very sporadic problem so that I can figure out what will fix it.

Welcome back!

-Jennifer
