New version of MIX coming in mid-July
Users of Mountaineer Information Xpress, or MIX, can look forward to a new Web portal system scheduled to come online in mid-July.
The new version of MIX will offer features and enhancements that were not available in the previous version, such as automatic inclusion of WVU news and calendar listings, improvements to e-mail functionality, and improved performance and reliability.
Data from some features, such as e-mail, groups, message boards, and chats, will not be migrated to the new version of MIX. No current MIX mail will be migrated during the upgrade this summer to the new version of MIX. For instructions on saving data, MIX users should carefully review the notices they receive in their MIX accounts regarding the upgrade and read the MIX upgrade information at http://www.wvu.edu/~mix/.
In addition, course tools such as chats, message boards and links to e-mail the instructor will not be available in MIX for summer courses. These tools will instead be offered through VISTA , WVU's Web-based course management tool.
All users were sent an e-mail announcement of the upgrade last week; more notices will follow with additional information and instructions.
The MIX upgrade is a collaborative project between the Office of Information Technology, Student Systems Development, VISTA Support and Web Services. Additional information about the upgrade is available at http://www.wvu.edu/~mix/.
