This is normal.  By default, students will no longer see a course after the semester ends.  However, some instructors occasionally decide to remove the course ‘end date’.  In this case, your instructor has most likely decided that you would benefit from ongoing access to the course content.  If you have any questions about a course that is still appearing in your course list, you could ask the instructor.

We worked with the vendor to apply emergency hotfixes to improve system performance.  Early testing suggests that the performance has improved.  We are continuing to monitor performance, but please let us know if you experience any unusual slowness or errors.  We apologize for the inconvenience the issue has caused.

We are aware that users have experienced periods of slow response times in Springboard over the past few days.  We have been working with Desire2Learn to identify and resolve system performance issues in Version 10.1.  We apologize for the inconvenience this is causing and we will keep you informed of steps we are taking to resolve the issue.

Don’t delay, submit your proposal and be a part of Ohio Learning Network’s First Annual Spring Colloquium!  Proposals are due by Monday, February 14, 2011.

The Ohio Learning Network invites higher education faculty, staff and administrators to attend the First Annual OLN Spring Colloquium, April 11-12, 2011, at the Columbus Hilton at Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio. Ohio Learning Network Colloquium: Best Practices Using Technology for Teaching, Learning and Student Services will provide opportunities for Ohio Higher Education Institutions to share best practices for using technology in the general areas of Student Services and Teaching and Learning.  As eLearning in Ohio continues to grow, the need for additional eStudent Services and re-tooled academic pedagogies require educators to adapt and adopt new practices in the classroom and beyond. Learn about best practices, administration, new strategies, and what works and what doesn’t from your colleagues around the state.

OLN seeks interactive and engaging proposals in five different presentation modes.  Visit http://www.oln.org/conferences/OLN2011/ to review the Request for Proposals (RFP). Proposal submissions will be accepted until February 14, 2011, and accepted presenters will be notified by March 1, 2011.
