Numbas and Blackboard #100

Closed anthonyyoud closed 7 years ago

anthonyyoud commented 12 years ago

This issue is mainly so that we're aware of a possible problem with running Numbas and Blackboard.

Graeme Chester is using Numbas for one of his EECE courses. Practice mode ran successfully last week (no results stored in Grade centre). This week, in assessed mode (results stored in Grade centre), he says two students have had errors when running the exam. The attempt is marked as "in progress" in the Grade centre.

The error is error no such interface supported.

Don't think we've seen this before, but it may be the same as the IE deadlock problem. I'll add more to this issue if I get more info from Graeme.

Do we know how many students were involved? Can we get access to the questions Graeme has written?

Thank God issue #100 wasn't a bug!

Do we have any more information about the error message? Was it a javascript error or a blackboard one with that big debug page?

This has come up again in MAS3214 CBA 2. Appears to be IE related, but I can't reproduce it yet.

Closing this because either it's a BB bug that went away after they switched to the new SCORM player, or it was a bug in a very old version of IE.
