I've known for some time that some instructers have been using MyWeb for classroom stuff. But this morning I noticed a pretty sizable spike in traffic to the system and I've trace it to a single page:
http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~newmedia/bonnie/354/354_student.html
This contains a list of links to student directories in MyWeb. This concerns me since I do not consider MyWeb to be a 'reliable' service. It is a 'best-try' service, which may experience unannounced, significant, and prolonged downtime. Since this has the potential of impacting classroom experience, I feel the need to make this known.

Faculty are sneaky that way. We've recently put up a new server to go with MyStorage and DeptStore, AcadStore, it gives us somewhere to put those things they want that go nowhere else. Like "I want all 200 of my students to have access to this directory so they can work collaboratively on stuff." Our MyWeb service is as high a priority as MyStorage, so I guess it would be OK.. if ill advised to use it for class stuff. We have blackboard for that.
