Scheduled: Moodle upgrade

1/4 UPDATE: The upgrade finished after a delay at around 10 pm last night. We are currently testing all parts of Moodle to make sure everything is working as it should. If you see something that you are not expecting, please e-mail helpdesk@emu.edu. Thanks!

3:35pm: The upgrade is still in process and our vendor is not able to give a timeframe on when it will be completed. We continue to monitor the upgrade and post updates when we have more information.

1:02pm: The upgrade is still in process and running smoothly. Moodle will remain unavailable until the process has completed. We hope it will complete by 3:00pm.

On Wednesday, January 3 9:00-1:00, Moodle will be unavailable while it is updated from version 4.0 to 4.1.

This is a minor update and you can read more about it here: https://docs.moodle.org/401/en/New_features 

Updates are necessary to keep Moodle secure, supported and provide access to new features. The timing of this update is inline with our standard practice of updating Moodle in July and Christmas break. If you have any questions, please email helpdesk@emu.edu.

Unscheduled: Google related issues

We are currently seeing reports of users having trouble using Google services like gmail.com or drive.google.com. Most users are seeing slowness or a 502 error after they log in. This appears to be transient and happening at different times. Refreshing the page might help after you have waited for a few mins. but Google ultimately will need to fix things. We will post any updates as we have them.

Update: Around 4 pm pages started to respond as they should.
