Calendar ICS corruption
- The (Drupal-based?) ICS linked for the ACADEMIC calendar does not display properly in MS-Outlook and other ICS-compatible calendar readers (all events form the Academic calendar seem to get display at the current date and time when this screenshot was taken. The ICS portion for the Administrative calendar does not seem to have the same problem).
- Both do seem to display on the Provost webpage:
- The same holds true for the underlying registrar calendar ICS that is aggregated by the provost’s page.
- Some debugging information when loading http://provost.uncc.edu/calendar/ical : “You have subscribed to “p.”. 19 out of 169 events were successfully added to your calendar. There seemed to be some problems with the other events in the file you were importing.”
Face-to-face-teaching exam using Sanako Study 1200
- Sanako Exam is an add-on at additional cost and not currently available in our setup.
- Sanako Exam teacher-created content is stored locally, file management beyond that is up to the user. This makes such polls less portable, but potentially sharing within a department might be easier.
- Student Results can be identified by student, and saved.
View here a screencast demo of how a Sanako Exam can be
- authored and
- deployed.

How we reorganized the reception area to improve support of circulation and small group work
The new reception desk is meant to secure the entrance to Coed436. To secure the circulation equipment, we do not let students into COED436 anymore, whether they are trying to check out equipment or for other reasons (except if they need to see the LRC coordinator). Hand all equipment to students over the counter. The door to Coed436 has to be locked when the LRC Assistant leaves the reception desk (it always can be unlocked from inside).
We also carved out 2 small group work spaces in the LRC entrance area. They can be used by language tutors with their students, and by other small student groups, including for assigned film viewing. These work spaces currently do not have to be booked, but they can be. Bookings take precedence over walk-ins. Send meeting requests to LRCRoomCoed433c@uncc.edu (Group1 next to entrance), LRCRoomCoed433d@uncc.edu (Group 2)). The calendar on the reception desk will display the bookings.
We moved 3 more iMacs (with built-in web cameras) into the main classroom (currently available to students only when all other iMacs are in use). All the iMacs in the main classroom actually have now also their own “room”: LRCroomCoed433b@uncc.edu (iMacs), but we are not requiring this “room” to be booked (yet). We are considering this in an attempt to avoid pile-ups of students trying to take video recording assignment. First we monitor actual usage patterns, especially nearing assignment dead-lines.
New “rooms”, and other equipment types are highlighted in green on our list of bookable resources.
Supporting Swahili – A running log
- Learned today that we will begin offering Swahili in the Fall. Here is the place to plan how the LRC can better support it.
- For starters, I am thinking of adding to the list of our custom configured languages for
- Windows 7
- Office 2010
- Learning materials?
- Existing?
- FSI, naturally.
- There should be more need for producing learning materials in this LCTL.
- automated?
- Note that the Stuttgart TreeTagger has a Swahili parameter file (gzip compressed, Latin1). The Swahili parameter file was trained on the Helsinki Corpus of Swahili (HCS) and uses a simplified version of the HCS tagset. The HCS was created by Prof. Arvi Hurskainen by means of his Swahili Language Manager (SALAMA) which uses Lingsoft’s TWOL compiler for constructing morphological analysers and Connexor’s CG2 parser for syntactic disambiguation.
- automated?
- Existing?
- Keep an eye on the Swahili Category.
