Questions
Is Blackboard down, or is it just me?
Blackboard itself reports a problem right now, so it is probably not just you.
How do we know?
We read the official Blackboard status page. We don't guess from social media posts or reports.
How often do we check?
The status page every 2.5 minutes, day and night. We keep 90 days of history: a day we have no reading for shows as "no data yet", never as working.
Official status from the Blackboard status page. HonkWatch also checks websites from 24 cities.
