eText & DLTs - Scheduled Update to Pearson, March 28, 2020
Posted: 2020-03-10 13:22:38 Expiration: 2020-03-28 23:05:00
On Saturday, March 28, 2020 12:00AM CT - 8:00AM CT, Pearson will be updating several of their systems to improve performance and security. All higher ed digital products will be completely inaccessible during this time.
This includes the following Pearson digital learning tools (DLTs): MyLab, MyLabsPlus, Mastering, Modified Mastering, Learning Studio, Revel, eText, Learning Applications, Pearson Writer, PearsonReader, Statcrunch, Coachmarks, Feedback, Registrar Reports, and Lever courses.
Engage pilot participants not using a Pearson DLT will be unaffected by this outage.
During this planned outage, all Pearson DLT users will not be able to sign in or access their courses, create or copy courses, or sync grades with Canvas. If any users try to access Pearson materials during this time, they will see a splash page explaining that Pearson is conducting maintenance if the content is located outside of Canvas. If the content is integrated with Canvas, those users will most likely see an error message to the effect that the course cannot be found. Please do not try to access or work on your courses during the maintenance window.
Pearson will post in-product messages 72 hours prior to the March 28th event. Messages will also be posted to Twitter, @PearsonSupport, and on the Pearson Support webpage.
