GeoInquiries Status

[Kylie]

** The issue has been resolved and the GeoInquiries are working again. **
** This information was last updated 9/10/24 @ 11:01p PDT **

We are currently experiencing an issue with layers in many GeoInquiries. You might see this as being prompted to sign in when opening a GeoInquiry map, or specific layers not loading. Signing in won’t fix the issue; the issue is with some of the layers. One of our data providers is experiencing some difficulties, and we are working with them to get it resolved.

We know this is interrupting some of your teaching, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for your patience as we get it resolved and get the activities back up and running.

Thank you for your update - these activities are some of my favorites, and present students with the most real-world 21st centuries skills. Do you have any idea when the rest of the Geoinquiries will be fixed? Thanks again!

Hi Eric and thanks for your kind words about the activities.

I don't have a timeframe yet, but will update here once I do. It's a high priority for us and we are definitely doing what we can to move it along.
