If students have no mp3 audio on LRCRoomCoed433a Listening Stations
Problem: A Student that took the French Respondus Lockdown browser on PC 43, when playing to listening comprehension files, had no audio on her headset (except for her microphone input was played back for her. The test is single attempt only, and lockdown browser prevents us from troubleshooting.
Cause: Master volume for Wave and SW Synth on lrcroomcoed433b back to 0, like so:
Workaround: plug in one of the black headsets (USB) temporarily (plugging in another brown headset did not resolve the issue).
Solution: None currently: even when the Respondus lockdown browser is not running, Deepfreeze will not allow making changes, and changes in the current user profile will not affect users whose profiels gets created upon login (which is all student users). Longterm: Don’t try to run identical software images on different hardware configurations. Not as longterm: Autoit FTW?

What additional help can I get from the LRC to study my language?
The LRC’s mission is to support language study within the LCS course offerings and is focused on a learning approach that blends instructor-led learning with AI in both face-to-face and self-access settings. Because of the complexity of SLA, separate resources are not easy to align and combine with a well-structured syllabus and textbook publisher resources – neither for teachers and other course builders, nor for learners. Also, independent study is even more challenging than self-access as part of a course.
That being said, we have a host of resources listed that you may find of additional help. Look at our blog categories, and build a search in the browser address-bar, like combining (“+”) from our categories list the language (”Spanish”) with “the intended audience (“audience-is-students”) . If you use Internet Explorer for your search, you can easily search within your search results:
How to access most important LRC calendars from quick links on LRC home page
- Go to http://lrc.uncc.edu
- access like so:
- The default calendar view in OWA is monthly:
- From the top menu icons, you can easily change to weekly and daily views:
- The calendars are edited directly by the service-providing party, to stay up to date with the frequent changes in tutor availability (see #1 on Seven ways to think like the web; #4, getting them to stick to our “disciplined naming conventions” remains a work in progress).
- Thanks to Joomla’s Publish/Unpublish feature, we also stand a chance keeping up with the frequent changes in tutors being sent to the LRC or not, by entirely hiding non-applicable calendars (so that students do not have to think about what we mean by “no time slots = sorry, currently no tutor”):
How to get sound on listening station computers by increasing the volume-levels
