[BB] Blackboard Virtual Classroom

Bb Users,

 

We need to make a small change to restore the Bb Virtual Classroom tool (the Chat tool is working fine). This change needs to be made during normal business hours and requires a Blackboard restart.

 

QUESTION: Is anyone missing the Virtual Classroom tool? Would it be better to restart* Blackboard at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon to restore the Virtual Classroom tool or wait until the end of the fall semester?

 

* A restart means that normal service will not really be impacted because we restart one server and then the other, BUT if students are in the middle of a discussion board or a test when the server they are working on goes down, they may lose their changes.

 

I appreciate your feedback on this.

 

Jennifer
