Given the network service interruptions this past weekend, ETS is extending the deadline for bSpace course owners and project site owners to access their content to Wednesday, October 21st. We want to ensure instructors and project owners have enough time to address their content retrieval needs in case the downtime affected their plans. The original deadline was the end of September. The extension will provide an additional 3 weeks for bSpace content retrieval.
