TV5 seems still in the satellite/per-per-view phase. But it offers free video learning resources: http://www.tv5.org/TV5Site/enseigner-apprendre-francais/accueil_enseigner.php

Moodle Https Warnings
2011/10/05

This now appears in every page I load in Moodle (in Internet-Explorer-8). I realize that client-wise this warning should not be suppressed globally. If this cannot be updated server-side, is it possible to blacklist individual websites?

Not for AND-searches, as a matter of fact.
LRC Outlook/Exchange 2010 Resource Calendaring: How LRC staff can group calendars in Outlook 2010
2011/09/28

- You can save the currently loaded calendars as a preset or “group” from the ribbon in the calendar view of outlook 2010, like so:
- The group and its members will be added to your calendar tree, and you can load all members with one click, like so:
- Then you can create multiple presets which correspond to your typical workflows: E.g. when you do not have to check the availability of equivalent sets of equipment, you may want to have an easy overview of staffing in the LRC:
- Note that – while we have to load individually the calendars of other mailboxes we own –, calendar groups we create in Outlook are automagically mirrored in OWA
- But the calendar names get lost in the process? And: the batch select checkbox is missing. And: only up to 5 calendars can be viewed in OWA simultaneously. And: OWA does not support overlay mode for calendars.):
- It would be great if calendar groups, with the help of ActiveSync, even worked their way through to mobile devices, but apparently they do not:

How not to book LRC equipment: Scheduling conflicts
2011/09/23
3 comments
- Do not send a meeting request to an item for a time when the item has a prior meeting request.
- The tab: scheduling assistant within the meeting request you edit is there to tell you when items have prior meeting requests.
- A “blocked” timeline denotes a prior meeting request: The item has already been booked (solid block) or requested (hatched block) during the start and end time of your meeting. Do not crash their party.
- “blank” timeline means “item is free”. Go ahead: You can request a meeting with this item between your start and end time.
- Once you have this overview, you can easily remove, by right-clicking on the resource, extra resources that you cannot book or could, but which you do not need:
- Once the university has mail-enabled your cloud-accounts on campus, we will have a computer decline such conflicting requests automatically, and force you to start over with a new meeting request. It will be still worth your while memorizing the above: You can save time and avoid disappointment.
