If you won’t use US-International keyboard layout to type diacritics on Windows, 48 61 70 70 79 42 69 72 74 68 64 61 79…
… , that is to say (decode): Happy Birthday. You are 60 years old. For with ALT+NUM code, you essentially use ASCII (ok, to be more precise: High ASCII), a mapping of human language characters to computer binary numbers that was invented on June 17, 1963.
You can continue for another 5 years. Or if you don’t mean to be hard on your brain: Friends don’t let friends bypass US-International keyboard layout.

How to test the LangLabEmailer
- The LangLabEmailer, when run, displays no GUI. To monitor:
- the progress, view the trace-listener.log;
- the results, view:
- “_sent” filenames in your assessment file store. NOTE: the LangLabEmailer will rename assessment files, by adding “_sent” to the end of the filename (for easy tracking;no deletions). If this is an issue for you, do not run it!
- “sent” items folder of mailbox used ( = mailbox of user logged into AD-domain-joined computer). NOTE: The LangLabEmailer will email assessment files from the language lab collection! (That is its primary purpose.) Specifically, it will send
- as you configured: within your campus email system (unless your campus mail administrator allows mail forwarding),
- as you configured: from the campus mail account you have the right to send from (I have the right to send ca. 3000 messages per day; you may want to inquire with your MS-Exchange admin about your limits),
- as you configured: from the student collection file share classroom data (which has special, relaxed FERPA rules),
- per its design – which is primarily based on file ownership which itself is based on who logs in on the originating lab computers and the digital audio lab software’s saving rules for pair and group work, but also by making some honest guesses about the intended recipient, based the file name and, as you configured, the list of teachers using your lab (since from experience these also happen to be logged in for students at times) – , primarily to the presumed originator and to her teacher (and in special cases, as a fallback, to whoever you configured as language lab admin).
- If this sounds a tad scary: just start with configuring
- a few “dry” test runs (no sending, no renaming, just logging what would happen)
- then some limited test runs (small time window and dummy files)
- and examine the results which the langlabemailer logs for you in either mode, and you will likely find, it is not scary.
- Next: Run. Or up:Langlabemailer table of contents.
How to workaround SkyDrive embed codes not working WordPress.com
- Problem: I cannot seem to get the new embed code that SkyDrive offers now to work on wordpress.com.
- Cause: No idea. Guess somebody did not get the memo? Hope it is not me.
- Workaround:
- Old skydrive embed code still works in wordpress (E.g. https://thomasplagwitz.com/tag/lists+resources/), but is a completely different syntax than what skydrive offers for embedding now (insert office code into [] to try it out):
- office width="750" height="1300" src="http://r.office.microsoft.com/r/rlidExcelEmbed?su=10634757809471938&Fi=SD25C841818181C2!126&kip=1&AllowTyping=True&Item=Table2&wdHideGridlines=True&wdDownloadButton=True"
- However, you can still convert the current embed into the old one:
- by inserting the new parameter values into the old ones:
- "cid" becomes "su" and
- "resid" becomes "Fi" .
- This example successfully embeds into a WordPress.com code now. (insert office code into [] to try it out):
- office width="750" height="1300" src="http://r.office.microsoft.com/r/rlidExcelEmbed?su=4FA3329905D7E1CE&Fi=4FA3329905D7E1CE%2162359&kip=1&AllowTyping=True&Item=Table2&wdHideGridlines=True&wdDownloadButton=True"
- No we seem to have been here before, so we shall see how long this workaround lasts.
Status of the language lab and purpose of the LangLabEmailer
- Status of the language lab: Modern language labs – digital audio labs with integrated computer classroom management systems, like the Sanako Lab 300 and Study 1200 –
- are great tools for driving the use and benefit of computer technology into the face-to-face language teaching classroom,
- but for years have been sorely lacking integration with the rest of the digital campus workflow, mostly through the web-based LMS
- Sanako once had a Blackboard integration that allowed to bring media files stored in Blackboard to the file, but not upload student assessments into the gradebook.
- I once ran a Sanako Lab 100 that acknowledged that need by providing USB thumb drives for students, and a mechanism to load class recorded files to them at the end of class.
- Online components being developed by language lab vendors seem to be lacking the face-to-face teaching component.
- Synchronous distance education software (like Adobe Connect, Blackboard Wimba, or Saba Centra) – if not just used like a giant loud speaker in supporting lecture presentations, interspersed with calling up individual students for responses – seems currently best positioned to bring some of the benefits of computer technology to the synchronous teaching arena, but in a different (not applicable to what is still the non-distance norm in language instruction), actually more challenging non-face-to-face setting, and – first and foremost – without special consideration (and tools, like a remote controllable dual track recorder) for language learning.
- Purpose of this software:
- The LangLabEmailer combines knowledge of
- how teaching and learning is done in modern language departments
- including common issues in the lab (late students)
- needs outside the lab
- grading from home
- documenting longitudinal language development for eportfolio initiatives
- how (some: you can help us!) digital audio labs save assessments,
- how AD tracks ownership,
- how MS-Exchange can be automated.
- how teaching and learning is done in modern language departments
- in order to
- let the language lab classroom activities (summative assessments, but also formative in the widest sense made so easy by digital audio labs) break out of their isolation in the lab and enter the learning workflow,
- by automatic immediate (we have set to 16 times daily) distribution of assessment files (recordings and writing)
- to teachers
- and – without or with added teacher feedback, including aural – to students via campus email ;
- in 30000 digital audio lab equipped classrooms in the world
- minus the ones that do not have MS-Exchange infrastructure
- plus the ones from other vendors than Sanako – for the above number of classrooms is from SANAKO –, if you share your lab’s configuration back.
- The LangLabEmailer combines knowledge of
