Check today’s date if you’re the only one in your Saba centra class
-
And if your neighbors do not have problems connect to Saba centra.
-
Your teacher may have put one Saba centra link for every class session, like in the list of links you can see in the center column here:
- You have to click on today’s one to participate.
YouTube Center, a power user extension for your video usage in class
- YouTubeCenter comes for a variety of browsers, but note that Firefox seems the only practically supportable browser in our campus computing environment.
- To download and install, go to : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/youtube-center/ and click on:
- There is not shortage of settings (e.g. preselected is the Dash Playback, useful to speed up jumping around a video, by disabling streaming):
Pearson mygermanlab "AUDIO INIT FAILED" for Blackboard voice/Wimba setup wizard – a firewall issue?
In Firefox, Chrome, IE8 on Win 7 (64bit) …
No other missing requirement in browser tuneup but QuickTime (which is said to be not required for PC)… And here is the likely solution from the Pearson website:
“Audio Init Failed” or “Error: Communication Error”
This error occurs because the computer’s security prevents the Wimba plug-in from sending data to our servers. Please take the steps described below to be sure that communication between your computer and our servers is always allowed.
- Please configure the security program or firewall on your computer to allow the file shown below (audioproxy.exe) to connect to the internet. (If you do not know how to make this change, please contact technical support for the security program you are using.)
Windows XP or 2000
C:\Documents and Settings\[Windows Username]\Application Data\HorizonWimba\JSecureDoor\audioproxy_X.Y.Z\data\audioproxy.exe
Windows Vista
C:\Users\[Windows Username]\AppData\Local\HorizonWimba\JSecureDoor\audioproxy_X.Y.Z\data\audioproxy.exe
- Java applets or Java Script also must be allowed by personal firewall or internet security software. Some firewalls have settings to block Java applets and Java Scripting, which will prevent Wimba Voice applets from loading. You may need to contact technical support for that firewall or security program for assistance configuring that program to allow Java applets and Java Script.
- Your browser must also allow Java applets and Java Scripting.
Internet Explorer
- Open Internet Explorer and click Tools > Internet Options
- From the Internet Options window, select the Advanced tab
- Scroll down the list to Java(Sun) heading and make sure the box below it is checked
Note: If you do not see Java(Sun), go Sun’s Java website at www.java.com and click Free Java Download. - Scroll down the list to the Security heading and make sure the box beside Allow active content to run in files on My Computer is checked
- Click OK

Moodle 1 into Moodle 2 course restore fails with error “unsupported subplugin” or “unknown resource successor” or “parameter (contextid) was missing
-
I could not get the course to convert, until I deleted everything but the fora , and not even my rss blocks converted with urls – if this helps somebody, I describe the steps I took here:
-
upconclicking on more info: error/moodle/unsupported subplugin From MoodleDocs
-
The cause of this is likely due to an unsupported subplugin not being available in the version of Moodle you are using. If this error appeared during the restore of a Moodle course check the plugins within the backed up course against what is available in the Moodle you are restoring the course to. The Moodle you are restoring the course to is likely to be missing a plugin that is present in the backed up course. There is a tracker for this error to be a bit more graceful during course restore for Moodle version 2.x.x http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-29288 <http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/error/moodle/unsupported_subplugin>
- Do not include "Video Assignments" means not only video files, but also Kaltura streamed video.
- If I remove pretty much anything which was useful and retry backup/restore with these settings
- I removed the video, however, there is a new error
error/moodle/unknown resource successor

Design options for the departmental WordPress-based website using Widgets and Pages
- For layout design:
- Go to http://[yo r site’s URL here]/wp-admin, e.g. http://lrc.unc.edu/wp-admin, and log in (you need site admin privileges , like I have for the LRC site).
- In the left-hand menu, click on “appearance”/ “widgets”
- You should see this:
- to design your right sidebar, follow the instructions on top of the widget list (i.e. drag and drop, then unfold the widget in question by clicking on the down arrow to the right
to edit the appearance of the site.
- Go to http://[yo r site’s URL here]/wp-admin, e.g. http://lrc.unc.edu/wp-admin, and log in (you need site admin privileges , like I have for the LRC site).
- “Pages”(in the left hand menu)
- are an afterthought in wordpress which was originally based on dated posts (for a diary-like web logs), but can be useful for not time-sensitive , stable areas/sections of your site.
- You can include a bulleted or numbered list which you periodically update manually (click “edit” on the page)
- or, for frequently changing information (like lists of students), you can use a system that may have more initial learning curve, but in the long run makes updating easier
- embed an online spreadsheet from Google Apps or SkyDrive
- or embed an RSS feed like in the above example (if you have an RSS. provider).
