Disruption of LMS Service
The Blended Learning LMS experienced technical difficulties between 7:51am and 11:31am EST Sunday, December 18th.
A team of engineers, developers and Alliance staff worked to resolve the problem. After a deep investigation, it is felt we have identified the root cause and resolved the issue. During the disruption of service some users would not have experienced issues, but for others a host of connection errors were seen. A notification message to help in alerting users appeared on the login pages for both the LMS and the Enrollment Application.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. All teams who work on the system are acutely aware of how important the system is for maintaining it’s fluid operation.

Odd looking Time Reports showing lists of 2:30
We recognized today that we have an error in the time reports that started on October 4th, 2016. This error relates to how a user logs out of a quiz or the LMS. If the user chooses to select the “Logout” function when they want to stop using a quiz, then the time captured is accurate. Moodle logs the time started and can then log the time completed. When however, (more…)
