Looks like DNS is broken.  Users around the world reporting it is down per 
https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/blackboard.com.html

C:\users\>nslookup www.blackboard.com 8.8.8.8
Server:  dns.google
Address:  8.8.8.8

*** dns.google can't find www.blackboard.com: Server failed

Please be cautious: **External Email**
Looks like blackboard is having a major issue, beginning about 4:40 p.m. ET

I'm hearing/seeing rumors, but nothing official.

Their status page is also down:

Just curious if anyone has any good info as to what is occurring.
