Yammer Update

posted by Dawn Adams, Glow Product Owner, Education Scotland

Yammer update on Planned Maintenance – 20.08.18

We are pleased to report that our maintenance work has now completed and the Yammer service is available to all authorised staff users – there is still no pupil access to Yammer. Once the Yammer review is complete, the Deputy First Minister will determine whether Yammer should be restored for any learners.

Yammer Update – 15.08.18

The Yammer service remains unavailable to learners but is available for teaching and non-teaching staff for professional learning and collaboration purposes. We are continuing work on the Yammer Review and no decisions will be made until the review has been completed and recommendations made to the Deputy First Minister for his approval.

Yammer Downtime

In order to ensure that we are able to restore or delete pupils’ Yammer content, dependent on the outcome of the review, we need to carry out some maintenance which means Yammer access will need to be temporarily suspended from Friday 17th August to Monday 20th August inclusive. The Glow Status page will be updated with this information. Please share this information with staff as they will not have access to Yammer during this time.
