UT Dallas Campus Power Outage

This is just a reminder that power on the UTD campus will be interrupted due to utility work on Sunday, July 27 from 6AM-7PM. WebCT will be on a generator backup and is not expected to be affected.

 

Some online courses have links to streaming videos. The server that houses these will be taken down, and the videos will not be accessible during the outage. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. For further information on the outage, please go to: http://www.utdallas.edu/news/2008/07/22-002.php

 

Thank you,

Streaming Video Server Has Been Restored

A new server has replaced the streaming video server that crashed earlier today. You should now be able to access all of the video and audio files. Should you encounter any issues accessing a streamed video or audio file, please contact us at som-elearning@utdallas.edu We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Streaming Server Outage

This message is to inform all online students and faculty that the server that stores our streaming video (i.e. faculty intro videos, short video clips in courses) has crashed.

Please note that this affects a very small percentage of our course materials; however, we are working as quickly as we can to get a replacement server and restore the video content.

Please contact us if you have any questions or need any further information.
