Released through Blackboard Labs, Bb Student is the next generation mobile solution that helps students react quickly to their changing course needs, while learning to plan for the future. This new Labs release has a rich and fun experience that is easy to use and simple to learn, and was designed specifically for students. Bb Student represents an in-progress product and its initial functionality is meant at this time to compliment and not replace Blackboard Mobile Learn. Blackboard is committed to building and iterating on Bb Student while maintaining the stability and support of the Mobile Web Services B2. Version 94.6.3 has been fully tested and is compatible with all existing Blackboard mobile solutions. All future updates to the Mobile Web Services B2 will be rigorously tested to ensure a seamless update to your production environment. |

There were no functionality changes. Support escalations identified that a large number of requests sent to the Building Block by Cengage could result in resource issues on the Blackboard servers. The updated MindLinks Building Block utilizes refactored logic that prevents the unnecessary instantiation of classes to process requests that lead to resource constraints. |

| Pearson MyLab/Mastering | 3.1.911600483 | 3.1.911600494 | November 14, 2014 | • BBCPE-489: In build #463, instructors were unable to reset the course pairing between Blackboard and Pearson. This issue was caused by the duplication of the “course_id” parameter within the URL preventing the Building Block from executing the proper call to Pearson to reset the course pairing. A workaround is available that entails manually editing the parameters in the URL. The October 2014 release includes updated logic that prevents this issue from occurring. • BBCPE-490: Release 3.1 of the Pearson MyLab & Mastering building block utilized logic to dynamically generate the URLs required to display icons within the system. The logic was unable to handle http/https variations and thus resulted in an error repeating in the logs for the building block. The icons displayed appropriately but the logs captured unnecessary error entries. The stack trace below is a sample of the log entries: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: images/Pearson-Logo-50x50.png |
