I can't even with this semester

[cornerofmadness]

I think I have the one problem with the misplaced class fixed but Blackboard Ultra, the updated teaching platform, has a new glitch. Most of the students can get in and see it normally. Others are seeing nothing but empty shells. I THINK it might be browser related, especially when one student said he couldn't see it on his laptop but COULD on his phone so he emailed himself the files and opened them on his computer that way. And it's not just me. ALL of us are having this issue. Also students are getting bombarded by emails from the spring semester which is insane as that's not even the SAME class and are seeing overdue homeworks all the way back six or seven years.


The screams are no longer just in my heart.

Is it December yet? It needs to be December.


Hey I have a thought. You can already put in your project for Nano. I'm still thinking of finishing up Jana's nonsense (It makes sense) and to that end how about the Mothman for the sequel to Cassadaga. No, not actually meeting him but having it here in Mothman country. I mean I live here so research is easy. I could set it at the end in the Mothman festival. I was thinking more of a missing case sort of thing because Ryan is a touch psychic, he does psychometry. I don't knwo what the big bad will be yet but I thought that could be an idea.

OMG! Your Blackboard woes sound horrible.

Blackboard has worked fine for me as a student, but getting students set up on the Uni VPN for access to computer lab software has been a nightmare for my Monday class. It is almost amusing watching everyone on Zoom lose their composure and show their despair as they try to get in.

It is horrible. I'm glad you were able to get into BB but not surprised you had a zoom of freaked out students

I think I can hear the screams all the way over here in NY!

Sounds like a good idea! Having the research be easier is a smart move.

I bet you can hear me screaming.

am afraid to tune into my work email this A.M.

yeah I can literally pop into the Mothman Museum when I want. I've been to at least a dozen Mothman Festivals. I've been to the igloos on the TNT factory. People know his name.
