…And While We’re At It…

While I’m complaining about M253… When I can get to the course calendar, it helpfully makes the above suggestions on what you should be doing this week. All of which rely on someone bothering to post the Milestone 2 document to the course website, and of course that’s noticeably not there. Very helpful. </snark>

M253 Web Woes, Part II

Trying to submit TMA01 for M253, and I’m being greeted by this wonderful caption. Again. Seems the OU’s new web platform is best described as “shaky”.

Clue-by-Four
TMA01 for M253 is due on Monday, and my team is deep into finalising the team portions of the TMA. Or we would be, if the OU website were playing ball:
Due to a problem, we’re currently unable to display your course content.
Our technical staff have already have been notified, and will be fixing it as soon as possible.
We apologise for the inconvenience.
Grrr. And Aaargh. Apparently it’s not just the M253 website that’s affected, so that makes me feel a little better (TMA extensions all round, anyone?), but still… Time to thwack OU tech support with a clue-by-four…
