The AOI WYSIWYG is a third-party building block that Academic Computing installed 5 years ago for Blackboard 6.0.11. AOI stopped developing and supporting the tool when they went out of business around the time of Blackboard 6.3. Even though it continued to function at this time, Academic Computing marked the tool as deprecated. With Blackboard 7.1, Blackboard supplied their own WYSIWYG editor, the Visual Text Box Editor (VTBE) for users of Internet Explorer, and with 7.2, the VTBE is available to all web browsers.
The AOI tool is broken in Blackboard 7.2 due to incompatibilities with the latest version. Clicking Modify to try an edit an AOI document returns the following error message:
An error occurred at line: 49 in the jsp file: /ch1/modify.jspAnyone using AOI should have received an email with suggestions on migrating the content in their AOI documents to the Blackboard WYSIWYG tool. In a nutshell, copy and paste the content from your AOI document into the VTBE, and most of the formating should be preserved. Any links to content or file attachments will need to be recreated.
Please contact the Academic Computing Helpdesk at 974-1222 if you would like help migrating AOI documents.
