On Wednesday, October 24th, from 9:35pm to 10:08pm Eastern, the LMS system showed increased response times which caused pages to display much slower than normal for some users. Our monitors sensed the increase and the teams immediately went to work to identify the issue. We are very sorry for the issues this may have caused.
Looking for the training course for the LMS and Blended Learning?
The original LMS Instructor course had its content closed recently but a new edition is in the works and at the same time available. The new course;

Media Closed, but Not Forgotten
This message is to bring a bit of clarity to the recent changes (media file closings and removals) that were made to the system to resolve the timeout issues experienced by the LMS a few weeks ago.
We have thousands of media clips and interactive animations placed throughout the system in various lessons and courses. (more…)

Blended Learning LMS Performance Question
The Learning Management System has experienced long response times for some users of the system recently. The symptoms display a connection error where for some they see that the Cloudflare CDN is inaccessible and others see that the blendedlearning.njatc.org site is inaccessible. Typically a quick refresh by the user clears the issue.
This is not the expected performance of the system and the teams are working around the clock to resolve the issue. We are very sorry for this inconvenience and will update with new information as soon as it is available.
Courses Added and Courses to be Archived
Many of the new courses slated for the 2018-19 Calendar School year [identified here] and the 2018 Catalog, have been turned on in the past month. The rest are still in process, but slated for use as described in those articles. A future article after NTI will be posted when the details are ready for listing all recently released content.
The message here focuses on the Archiving of courses. Some of the new courses turned on recently replace existing ones. When this occurs, we Archive the course being replaced once it’s new-use is no longer part of the system. On August 7th we will archive the listed courses below. Archiving a course does not remove access for those already enrolled. Archiving affects only new enrollments, not existing ones. Read on to get the full explanation. (more…)
