Latest message from the Provost regarding LEARN

To: All University of Waterloo students

From: Geoff McBoyle, Vice-President, Academic & Provost

Date: February 1, 2013

Subject: Update on Waterloo LEARN

Dear Students,

Friday, February 1, 2013

The Waterloo LEARN system has been running since about 12:30pm. We have done local testing and people are on the system, and it appears to be performing normally. We feel the system is stable and that it can go back into normal use. Desire2Learn continues to monitor their hosting site and
we will continue to check for any alerts. A thorough investigation into events will begin next week, in collaboration with D2L.

Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.
