Bio:
I am passionate about solving problems, Liverpool football club, and Marmite, although probably not in that order. One of my duties has been as the technical LMS lead for Virginia's Community Colleges for the past 15 years or so, and now as they have moved from another LMS to Canvas. While far from a hard-core programmer, I enjoy making life easier for myself and college staff (in that order). I am mildly proud of building an elegant per diem calculator, and of being on Google's Higher Education Customer Advisory Board.

FWIW, I've been opening tickets with our vendors, and I believe Instructure will be reaching out to a certain degree, but is otherwise relying on Release Notes and standard partner communications.

Yep. Me too. Gave our CSM an earful today. Given the time of year with holidays and the semester start in January, it's a bit shocking and deeply concerning that our vendors aren't aware of th...

The vendors are responsible, i.e. Zoom, Panopto, CompTIA. I'm concerned about the LTI 1.1 Grade Passback, because there are no details there and we have 56,000+ in the past 7 days.

Has someone told Zoom?
