LITS has implemented a fix to Zoom Scheduler that will allow users to reschedule a meeting without encountering broken links. As a reminder, this fix will only apply to meetings that were scheduled after the fix was applied. Meetings scheduled before today will still have broken links for rescheduling. Please email help@brynmawr.edu if you have any questions.

As part of the website redesign led by College Communications and Web Services, Drupal users will not be able to log in from 6:30am – 8:00am on Tuesday, 1/14, as Web Services applies updates. Please be advised that this only affects Drupal account holders and not access to College websites or other College accounts.

Prior to the update period, please save your work and log out. If you are logged in with unsaved drafts, you may lose work during the update period.

Additionally, you may want to clear your web browser cache after the updates. Instructions on how to do that can be found in this Wiki How article.

LITS will be applying a minor upgrade to Moodle over winter break. This process will begin during the early morning on Monday, January 13, 2025. We do not anticipate any downtime.

Once the upgrade is complete, you may notice small changes in the Moodle interface. These include a redesign of the menu used to select activities and resources (Assignment, Forum, Quiz, etc.) as well as a new drop-down menu instructors can use to control “Group Mode” settings. There will also be small functional changes, the most important of which is a way to directly add new items and categories to your Gradebook. Finally, we will be adding the plugin Moodleoverflow to our site. It allows you to add a Moodleoverflow activity to your course page, which can be used for Q&A-style discussions.

If you have questions or concerns, please email help@brynmawr.edu to contact the Moodle support team.

Happy holidays everyone! Prior to leaving for winter break, please be sure to update your Windows computers. Microsoft has recently released a security update that patches 71 known flaws and 1 Zero-Day Vulnerability.

LITS has been made aware of an issue with Zoom Scheduler that is preventing users from being able to reschedule meetings. This issue, which produces a broken link whenever users try to reschedule a meeting, occurs over email and in calendar notifications.

LITS has worked with Zoom to identify a solution and will implement the fix over Winter Break. Once it’s applied, users will no longer encounter a broken link when rescheduling meetings. However, they will still encounter broken links if they try to reschedule meetings that were created before the fix is applied.

Please email help@brynmawr.edu if you need assistance or have any questions.
