WebCT crash causes exam-time exasperation - Adam Klevinas

WebCT’s exam-time crash prevented students from accessing material. During the final exam period, on the weekend of December 7-8, WebCT, was inaccessible. Prof-essors use the internet-based program to post class notes and announcements. The crash left students without access to lecture notes, class updates, marks, student discussions and McGill e-mail accounts. Other internet-related resources also went down, including the online version of exam schedules and locations. The crash resulted from a firm wire in a single faulty drive among the numerous drives in the system.
