Respondus: LockDown Browser in Ultra
| Affected:

RESOLVED -- LearnJCU: Some uploaded files are not available
| Affected: |
All users
|
| Description: |
Some files uploaded by teaching staff are not accessible by all users after a short period of time has passed. Files affected by this issue will be given a URL which starts with 'https://learn.jcu.edu.au/sessions...' and users will receive a 404 error when trying to access them.
|
| Workaround: |
Teaching staff should re-upload the affected file.
|
| Resolution: | The issue which prevented file uploads has been resolved but any affected file will still need to be re-uploaded. |
LearnJCU: Subjects not listed correctly on subject page
| Affected: |
Students
|
| Description: |
Students enrolled in two or more subjects which are merged see only one of the subjects displayed on the subjects page.
|
| Workaround: |
This is a display error and does not reflect a change in enrolments or change the availability of subject site content. Students can confirm their subject enrolment via eStudent.
|
LearnJCU: Daily email notification links
| Affected: |
Students
|
| Description: |
When you click on the links within the daily email notifications sent via LearnJCU, they take you to the LearnJCU Gateway and not the related content in your subject site.
|
| Workaround: |
Log into LearnJCU and view the notification in your Activity Stream. Links within the Activity Stream will take you straight to the relevant content.
|
Mediasite: Authentication error when downloading VODcasts
| Affected: |
Students
|
| Description: |
Students receive an authentication error when attempting to download Mediasite VODcasts.
|
| Workaround: |
To overcome this students must provision a Mediasite profile by clicking on Tools (Books and Tools in Ultra) and then clicking on My Mediasite. They will be presented with a message from Blackboard asking them if they wish to allow Blackboard and Mediasite to make changes on their behalf and must click
Allow. Students will then be able to download VODcasts.

| Affected: |
All users

Mediasite: Play error
| Affected: |
Students

| Description: |
