Twitter, Rape and Privacy on Social Media – The Cut
http://nymag.com/thecut/2014/03/twitter-rape-and-privacy-on-social-media.html?mid=facebook_nymag
*****************
Three thoughtful and thought-provoking essays about teaching social media use:
“Why students should not be required to publicly participate online” online at http://prpost.wordpress.com/2010/04/25/why-students-should-not-be-required-to-publicly-participate-online/
“Notes on Student Privacy and Online Pedagogy” online at http://joshhonn.com/?p=65
“Why the Loon does not assign public social-media use” online at http://gavialib.com/2014/02/why-the-loon-does-not-assign-public-social-media-use/
I don’t necessarily advocate the point of view expressed in these posts, but I do think they merit both attention and discussion in a course focused on social media.

The D2L email queue completed sending all pending messages Friday evening (Feb 7)and since that time the email has been processing on schedule, with no excessive backlogs. We continue to monitor the queue and will keep you informed of the status.

Per MnSCU System Office:
We are still seeing a backlog in the email queue for D2L notifications, and delays of 10-20 hours before users receive the email messages. The mail is moving, but new messages are coming in as fast as old ones are going out, so the queue level remains high.
We have escalated this issue on our internal IT teams as well as with D2L. We will keep you informed of the status as we continue the investigation.

Update on D2L issues in Chrome browser:
Chrome 32 has resolved the issue with miniature-sized frames inside some D2L tools.
Chrome 32 has introduced a new issue with D2L at screens that bring up a separate window with a list of options, such as “Insert Quicklinks”. After a lengthy wait time, a blank window displays in the pop-up and does not populate with information.
D2L has identified this as a browser bug that Google Chrome intends to fix in version 33, but preliminary testing of the current beta version of Chrome 33 shows that the issue still exists.
D2L recommends using a different browser until Google Chrome has a release that resolves this issue.

D2L Document Viewer
We made some adjustments to our environment that appear to have alleviated the document viewer issue. We are still closely monitoring the viewer queue, and would appreciate your prompt reports if users experience the spinning “loading” icon when trying to view documents in Content or Dropbox.
D2L Email and Notification Delays
We also made some changes for email, and continue to monitor the email queue. This issue is still under investigation. If you experience delays, please report via the ticket system with details of the time the email was sent or notification alert occurred, and when the email was actually received.
Thanks for your patience on these issues.
Per MnSCU System Office:
The D2L document viewer is experiencing issues. In Content and Dropbox, users may see a spinning icon and a blank background, but the documents do not load. We are working to resolve the issue.
Users may download and view the documents as a temporary workaround.
We appreciate your patience as we work on alleviating the problem.
