E-learning equipment updated

On August 23, OIT switched e-learning over to new more powerful servers. Users should see improved response time as a result. As part of the switch over, http://vista.wmich.edu was removed from service and replaced with http://elearn.wmich.edu

Info about IE 7.0 and Microsoft Vista

IE 7.0 is now compatible with Blackboard Vista.

At this time The Office of Information Technology is not recommending that the University community upgrade to Vista, Microsoft's new operating system. More info is at http://www.wmich.edu/oit/news-vista.html

MyComputer Applet Disabled

Due to the number of problems encountered by many Blackboard Vista users, the Java based MyComputer applet has been disabled.

Users will see a minor interface change when uploading files. When clicking on the blue computer icon, a new page will be displayed that will allow users to browse for up to eight files and them upload them by clicking the 'OK' button.

Registration Information

New course links will begin appearing on your My E-Learning Page as registration for a term begins. You can hide links to these courses by clicking on the pencil icon in the upper right corner of your Class List box on your My E-Learning page. Remember if you hide the link to Summer or Fall course that you remember to un-hide it before the term starts.
