We are seeing student enrollments back in Blackboard spring courses. Refresh and/or log out/in to check again, please.
The Blackboard issue is related to accounts being made inactive in Blackboard - which makes it appears as if no students are enrolled in Bb courses. CITS is working to restore and all course enrollments including grade center data should be intact. Will report more as we learn.
Major Blackboard issue has removed student enrollments from all spring courses. We have alerted tech support and will update here as we learn more.

Happy New Year! The IDEA Team is back and ready to help prepare spring courses for a January 17 launch.
Blackboard is back up again - that was quick, thankfully! Reminder - if you are unable to reach Bb or login, please report that to CITS Helpdesk ([email protected])
It appears Blackboard is currently down: This page isn’t working blackboard.umaryland.edu is currently unable to handle this request.

The authentication issue for Blackboard appears to be fixed as of this a.m. Thank you for reporting login issues to CITS helpdesk.
Blackboard appears to be down, and for all login issues please contact CITS helpdesk: 410-706-HELP or help@umaryland@edu. The aiDEA Team cannot help with login issues.
Gratifying to see that after @mdsocialwork IDEATeam advocated to get Blackboard Ally for our campus, in our first academic year of providing it: 375 students downloaded nearly 2200 alternative format documents across 153 courses at SSW alone. #accessibility #equity #inclusion

Some fantastic resources about the importance for retrieval practice in the learning process: retrievalpractice.org/ Instructors who build in and provide REGULAR time for retrieval practice help student learning & this should be SEPARATE from assessments (exams, papers, etc)
UMB / SSW Blackboard logins/Duo are having an issue at the moment. CITS is aware and working on a resolution.
