A severe performance problem was identified with one of the modules attached to the default Courses and Organizations tabs supplied by Blackboard. The fix for this was to make the default Tab unavailable and replace it with a new tab that did not include the broken module. By removing this errant module we hope to improve the responsiveness and stability of the system as a whole.
An unfortunate side effect of this fix is that any modules or layout customizations made to your Courses or Organizations tab will need to be recreated. You can re-add any missing modules, such as the excellent My Courses Plus module or the entertaining Asteroids game by clicking the Modify Content button in the upper right.

I wish that fixed the problem that I have where a course from S07 is showing up still.

I guess that ultimately explains why my test area went away. Also, not a problem.

For anyone wanting a quick and easy way of getting rid of the long list of old courses (particularly instructors and TA’s) try “My Courses Plus” available in the content choices for each tab. This cleanly organizes the courses by type (ie instruct/TA/enrolled) and then by semester so you can “close” old semesters.

Where do I do to see the different classes offered for each term?

Does anyone know how to get that little box where you could look up the blackboard sites for classes you aren’t currently taking? It used to be in my top let corner and it was very helpful for looking at old syllabi for classes you’re interested in taking.

Too bad the courses I am enrolled in now disappeared from my course list, and I have a bunch of classes showing that I took two semesters ago. Way to mess things up right at the end of the semester when I need this working! Keep up the good work

FLE4317.691F)7:TchingLEPStudentsK-12 is a class I was registered for about a year ago, which is showing up now…like I am taking it. Otherwise, three other courses showing are accurate.
