Hi. I'm using LAMS to allow my students to author sequences. We were finding that intermitently students were not able to preview or run past the Chat and "Chat and Scribe" activities (the next page would not load). But now we are finding that the Chat and "Chat and Scribe" tools are causing a system server error for everyone.
Has anyone heard of this problem? Does anyone know a fix? If so, please advise ASAP because my students have an assessment task due tomorrow and they're quite distressed.
Thanks everyone. An example of the system error stack trace they are receiving is provided below.
All the best,
Matt
