UoM students can’t log in to Blackboard tonight
It’s being investigated by IT services
Students at the University of Manchester are currently unable to access Blackboard and are shown an error when trying to log in.
IT Services said on Twitter the issues follow maintenance earlier today. They suggest trying a different web browser or using this temporary Blackboard link as an alternative.
An update posted at 15:03 to the University IT service status page says "there is currently an issue for some users logging in to Blackboard, this is under urgent investigation", though no further updates have been posted as of 6pm.
UoM colleagues! Anybody got Blackboard access atm?
I tried following the ITS guidance literally to see what would happen. What happened: I've been listening to hold music for ten minutes with no indication of queue length. https://t.co/wmVsO4zFaL
