Canvas and Class Recordings access issues related to AWS Outage; available course information alternatives
Canvas, including course-related access to the University's Class Recordings (Panopto) infrastructure, remains unavailable due to an ongoing AWS incident. Here are some possible workarounds while suppliers work to fix issues:
> Classroom locations and basic course information can be found either at https://courses.upenn.edu (for all users), or https://path.at.upenn.edu/ (enrolled students only)
> Students needing to contact their professor can search Penn Directory for contact information or Syllabi@Wharton for a preliminary course syllabus.
> Wharton faculty needing to contact their students may access Instruction Center to use the Classlists tool.
