Moodle Archive Block January 7,2020 , I™ Email a correction for this post General Announcements New IT status page New for 2020, we have an IT Status service we’ve been testing internally and we’re ready to release to you. https://au-ls-it-status.statushub.io/ On this page you can subscribe to receive email or text alerts about major service issues (you can even select which services you care about — moodle, telecom, internet, etc). Please keep in mind a human still has to create the alerts and in some cases solving the problem will take priority over updating the status page. Some updates may come after the fact. Our hope is that this empowers you, if you're interested, to receive updates about major service issues that you care about. fH\January 7,2020 | I@ Email a correction for this post Cook in the Food Lab during winter break submitted by jacobsn@augsburg.edu Today (1/7) from 5-7:30pm.
