<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Colleagues,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks to the many of you who submitted
sample courses for Bb testing.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">To those who did, and those who didn't,
I have an additional request.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We have created what is supposed to
be an exact copy of our Bb8 environment which will</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">eventually be upgraded in place to Bb
9. It is important before the upgrade that we </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">determine that the copy is correct.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I invite you to take a look at the copies
of you current courses and "exercise" some of the</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">advanced features you may have, such
as blogs, discussion boards, iTunesU links, etc.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">to see that they are still working.
Even just checking your syllabus to be sure there are no</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">broken links would be helpful. Please
report anomalies to me (detailed error message are</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">best reported with screen shots.)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The URL for the cloned environment is:</font>

</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thank you very much.</font>
