    <Title>Known Issue: Students Can't Access Bb Course Files</Title>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">DoIT is tracking a problem that has emerged in a dozen Fall 2011 Blackboard courses in which students see the following error:
          
          <blockquote>

          </blockquote>
          
          <strong>Workaround</strong>
          
          Actually, the files DO exist in the course, but need to be <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/cQBpAQ" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">re-linked</a> (NOT re-uploaded). We understand this is a challenging problem and workaround at a very hectic time of year. We have submitted a support ticket into Blackboard, which is working to dentify the cause of this problem. We will update UMBC Bb instructors as we learn more.</div>
