CAOS ereserves not compatible with Sanako Study1200 Webbrowser

  1. Last week I noticed in the LRC that I cannot open the ereserves with language learning audio files to my students by using the Study1200 Webbrowser’s “follow” feature .
  2. While sending the audio listing page still works, including the login page which the students get redirected to, and which, upon successful login, redirects them to the listing;
  3. Getting to the actual audio file launcher page fails, since this is a popup window which the Sanako Webbrowser first blocks, while redirecting the launcher of the  popup to the home page
  4. No pressing of modifier keys seems to be able to bypass the popup blocker. Is there a setting in the Study1200 Webbrowser to modify this behavior.

How LRC assistants can print LRC jobs from the reception desk

  1. If you have (ONLY! printing is tracked) work-related jobs to print from the reception desk, please use this method:
  2. Choose “print” as normal and then this Toshiba printer driver ONCE I HAVE IT INSTALLED:CIMG0010
  3. the printer driver will ask you for a code; the code in the LRC Moodle announcement board sticky post, above the threads: CIMG0009
  4. You can pick up the print outs in the mailroom behind the LCS department’s main office.

Solved: NetOp School NLSP.dll prevents streaming of Real Media via RTSP on student computers

  1. On a NetOp School system, Realplayer 14, when trying to load e.g. rtsp://dlib4.uncc.edu:554/e_reserves/CD4French1-7.rm (from Firefox, or disk, authenticated), crashes nlsp.dll (version 6, part of of NetOp School from Danware). This is the  NetOp Browser Policy IP Filter.
  2. The MS-windows appcompat contains this:

  4. NetOp support advises to try, among other things, resetting the Winsock catalog via    "netsh winsock reset", which seems to work on a testmachine.

How a teacher creates and grades a Moodle streaming video assignment.

  1. Click button: “Turn editing on”, from the “add an activity dropdown, choose: “video”, like so:  dropwdown-activity
  2. Edit your assignment, like so: kaltura-submission-notification0
    1. using the following options (or else expect problems)
      1. Due date: not DISABLED (is the default)
      2. Prevent late submissions: YES (is not the default)
      3. Allow resubmitting: NO (is the default)
  3. after you post your assignment and your students took it, like so,
  4. and if you turned notifications (not recommended; rather grade the assignment well after the deadline, or else expect problems) on (if you get already enough email, remember you can turn notifications off, rather send a deadline to the assignments which the students can see in their calendar, and until they get used to it, tell them there will be more video assignments, best: make it a routine and leave  2 for extra credit could be enough to get everybody to catch), you will get an email like this: kaltura-submission-notification
  5. where you click either on the  link (1) to go to the assignment, then click through to the submissions (3) kaltura-submission-notification1
  6. or on (2) to go directly to the grade book:   kaltura-submission-notification2
  7. where you are best advised to click on the button: “grade” to view the  video submission, , or else you might run into this bug.
  8. In the grading windowkaltura-submission-notification4play the video, add helpful comments, if any, add final Grade and click “save and next” (but click “next” if no video submitted yet and you grade before the submission deadline. Better: do not grade before the submission deadline).
  9. If video seems unwilling to play (frozen frame), drag the play cursor forward on the timeline underneath the video. kaltura-timeline-drag-me  If this does not unfreeze the video, let the timeline run to the end (both workarounds have helped  with Kaltura issues we encountered here).

Moodle Streaming Video Recording Assignment Glitch 2

  1. environment: win xp sp3, firefox 3.6
  2. If you view the Moodle video assignment from the grade book table, inline, in Firefox 3.6, how do you close the popup window?
  3. kaltura-teacher-bug1
  4. no hovering around revelaed a close control to us, escape did not help eithe, nor the brwoser back button.
  5. workarounds:
    1. copy the url from the address bar, open a new tab, paste the url, close the old tab
    2. do not view the video in the grade book overview chart, but after opening the individual submission form the grade button.
    3. try a differnet browser than firefox. on the mac, safari solved a similar problem with firefox and kaltura.
