Screencasts for Spring 2012 Student Staff Workshop: LRC layout,, calendaring, tutoring, example Japanese

  1. Here are two screencasts of my presentation:
  2. one for the right screen/participant screen (using the Study1200 teacher to student screen casting). Requires Windows Media Player on PC, like in the LRC: download from MS-SkyDrive.
  3. one for the left screen/projector, where I displayed mostly a PowerPoint. You can watch this in parallel using another player, e.g. the VLC player, like in the LRC. However, it can also stream from MS-SkyDrive.

Failure due to timeouts when capturing image from Symantec-Ghost

  1. do not thin I Have not seen that before: image capture starts successfully, but  client times out in the middle; happens repeatedly both during the day and at night?
  2. symantec-client-timed-out
  3. What else to try? symantec-client-timed-out1
  4. Solution/workaround: inconclusive. First try w/o Deepfreeze installed and with high compression worked. But third try without any changes had also finally succeeded (although deploying that image was not tested).
