I had another post for this week’s blog but since WordPress was one of the system unavailable yesterday it gave me time to think about what to do when you can’t get your “stuff’!
The usual advice is to save everything to your PirateDrive for easy access but that may not have helped yesterday as neither Blackboard nor PirateDrives were available. It is always good practice to have your course content files in two locations. Printed content could be used with the Document Camera in the classroom.
One system that was working was Mediasite! You may say but students could not access the recordings because Blackboard was down but you can send presentation links by accessing your recording via My Mediasite. Alternatively if you were recording every semester you may have been able to rerelease content from a previous semester.
