FoxTALE will be upgraded during the Christmas break and unavailable for an extended time from 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 26, to 6 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 28. We realize this is longer than usual and apologize for any inconvenience but hope you will be enjoying the holidays.
We also want to remind you that after the upgrade you will view past course sites (prior to 2016 Fall) on the FoxTALE-Archive site. Institutional Technology will move the oldest course sites in batches over the next few weeks until all course sites previous to 2016 Fall are moved to the Archive. We anticipate this work will be completed the week of Dec. 24.
