The first day of the new school year in North Carolina started with frustration after a statewide virtual learning system crashed, denying students and teachers access to online classes for hours.
NCEdCloud, the system used as a portal to other popular online learning platforms such as PowerSchool and Canvas, experienced an overload and crashed on Monday morning after students across the state tried to log in at the same time, school districts reported. The system remained down for about three hours until 11 a.m., when the technical issue was finally resolved.
