These bugs and issues have been resolved:
PROBLEM: Student cannot Submit a Test/Assessment
PROBLEM FIRST REPORTED: June 2011
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Students taking a test will submit their answers and receive an error message directing them to refresh their screen. After refreshing, Blackboard will prompt the user to access the exam and submit again. Upon attempting this second submit, a message will appear explaining that the user no longer has access to the exam as it has already been completed.
RESOLUTION STATUS: RESOLVED.
WORKAROUND: Students should save each answer as they go. When students have saved their answers, instructors can go into the Grade Center, view the attempts, and submit on behalf of the students. If there is not any work there (likely because students were not saving after each answer) it is necessary for instructors to clear the original attempt and students will need to take the test/assessment again.
PROBLEM: Lose Work Because the Browser Times Out
PROBLEM FIRST REPORTED: June 2011
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Instructors working in Blackboard for an extended period of time get logged out or receive an error message causing them to lose work. A generic Blackboard error message appears (e.g. "multipart/form-data not allowed").
RESOLUTION STATUS: RESOLVED.
WORKAROUND: Consider saving work often and when performing tasks that are time consuming (as when using the Grade Center), save frquently, and then refresh the browser window.
