Copyright and Blackboard Resources
COLT Services have been restored. Everything should be operational.
The Education Complex has been closed until 12 Noon today. COLT will be unable to provide any services while the building is closed. Please check back for updates.
This DOES NOT AFFECT Blackboard! (unless you are using some additional colt services. ex streaming media housed on our servers)
Due to unforeseen water damage in the Education Complex some COLT services have been disrupted. We have had to shut down several machines that are housed in the Education Complex. We have had to shut down our web server which will affect our website (cdl.utpa.edu), our help desk, course activation and other cdl hosted applications (podcast, tegrity request, etc).
You can STILL ACCESS BLACKBOARD and our main webpage via the following links.
colt.utpa.edu - colt homepage (some links will not function ex. help desk)
onlinelearning.utpa.edu - Blackboard login page
We experienced this issue at about 6:30 PM and have NO timetable as to when we will be able to fully restore services. If you have need any assistance our help desk will still operate as normal (M-F 8-5) we may be reached at (956) 318-5327 or emailed at colthelp@utpa.edu For any additional updates you may check our blog, twitter, and facebook.
We experienced technical difficulties with the login portion of Blackboard at UTPA. The problem has been resolved, but some users experienced difficulties logging during the evening hours of October 21, 2009. We apologize for the inconvenience.
ATTENTION: Blackboard will be down on Thursday Aug 27th from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM. We will be upgrading our institution Blackboard from 8.0.2 to version 8.0.3. This fix will not change anything that you are used to seeing in the Blackboard interface. In addition to Blackboard being unavailable Instructors will be unable to ‘Activate’ their course(s) during this time. We do not foresee any issues with this upgrade. All COLT services should be back up and running by 6:00PM on Aug 27th. Our web services will still be accessible during this time.
Currently there is an network outage in our department office. This DOES NOT have any effect on Blackboard. Our website however is currently offline until the network issue(s) get resolved. Please check back for more information.
The network connectivity issues have been resolved. You should be able to access Blackbaord without any problems.
UTPA is experiencing network problems. Information Technology staff is currently working to solve these issues. In some cases, connecting directly to our Blackboard page may alleviate the problem. Please try connecting to http://onlinelearning.utpa.edu/ directly rather than going through our department website.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Today at 4:45PM we had blackboard issues with the mail tool. These issues have been resolved at 5:45PM and should now function as normal. Sorry for the Inconvenience.
