End of the semester
The Spring 2010 semester has ended and grades are due June 2, 2010. If you used iLearn for grading, make sure to export your gradebook to make it quick and easy to input your grades into the faculty tools. Pay special attention to step 4 in the quickguide, and change the grade export display type to letter if you will not be performing further calculations outside of iLearn.

Campus network problems may be causing iLearn Slowness from off campus.
Update:
The Division of Information Technology reports that the issue was resolved at 4:30PM on Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Access to campus applications such as iLearn returned to normal shortly after.
Original Message:
As of around 3:52PM today, the SFSU campus is experiencing network slowness. This affects the campus connection to and from the outside Internet, so connections from off campus to iLearn may be affected.
If you are on campus, iLearn will not be affected. The Division of Information Technology is working on resolving the issue, and hopes to have more details soon.

The iLearn HelpDesk is moving!
On April 30, 2010, the helpdesk for iLearn support will be moving from Burk Hall 224 to our new home across the hall in Burk Hall 223. As a result, our office will be closed for in-office appointments and walk-in support on that day while we move around and get everything settled. Phone and email support will still be available, and regular office functions will return on Monday, May 3, 2010.
Spring cleaning
As part of an effort to maintain a clean and efficient system for our campus users, we have begun a cleaning process to remove old, out of use courses from semesters gone by. At this time, courses older than Fall 2008 will not be available to users directly in the system.
If you are an instructor and require course material from a course older than Fall 2008 that you were listed as the official instructor of record for, please let us know via email to ilearn@sfsu.edu with the name, number, section and semester of the course you wish to retrieve. We can prepare a backup zip file and arrange for you to gain access to those materials.
Keep in mind that while this material is retrievable now, the longer you wait, the more difficult it will become to use the data recovered.
Any material from courses over two academic years old is no longer available in the system.
Online Teaching and Learning office closed March 29 to April 2
The Online Teaching and Learning office will be closed from March 29, 2010 to April 2, 2010 as a result of government mandated furloughs. Our office will re-open at 9am on Monday, April 5, 2010.
All services will be running during this time, but we will be unable to answer any inquiries until our office opens on April 5, 2010.
