Please note that Blackboard SafeAssign, Blackboard Sync (including the Blackboard Learn for Facebook and iPhone applications) and Blackboard Scholar will be intermittently unavailable while undergoing maintenance on Saturday, October 10^th and Sunday, October 11^th.  This maintenance window is to update the hardware and network infrastructure of these products. The expected outcomes of this update are:  

• Increased capacity for all of these services
• Improved performance of these applications
• Increased stability

The systems are expected to be intermittently unavailable from morning (EST) on October 10^th through morning (EST) on October 11^th.  Please notify your institution of this period of the unavailability for these services.  Users will not be able to submit assignments to Blackboard SafeAssign, utilize the notification capabilities as part of Blackboard Learn for iPhone and Facebook applications, or access their Blackboard Scholar bookmarks during this maintenance period.  No action is required by users during this period of unavailability.

 While we realize that no time is particularly convenient for temporarily removing these capabilities from your implementation, this proactive maintenance will improve the stability, capacity and performance of these applications and services following this downtime.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact onlineclasses@palomar.edu.
