On November 17th from approximately 9:30 PM to 9:46 PM (CST), there was a recurrence of the previous database server problems we had experienced earlier in the semester.
During the outage, however, Learn@UW was able to retrieve data that should help them better understand the issue and hopefully prevent it happening in the future. We will update with any additional information as we receive it. Thank you for your patience.
[ORIGINAL MESSAGE] At roughly 9:30pm on Thursday, November 17th we started receiving reports of “Server Errors” and login issues. At this time the system appears to be stable, but we will continue to monitor the situation and will post updated information as it is received.
An engaging way to reinforce key concepts in a course is to provide interactive learning activities and games, such flash cards, crossword puzzles, and challenge games. These types of activities encourage students to spend more time with course content because it doesn’t feel like “learning” to them. Developing these types of educational games and activities has been made easy to do using StudyMate Author. This software tool helps instructors create ten Flash-based activities and games using four simple templates.
