If students have no mp3 audio on LRCRoomCoed433a Listening Stations
2012/03/20

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?

Moodle Kaltura teacher and student video uploads combined

- You can combine
- a Model/Question video, uploaded by the teacher as a video resource
- with an Imitation/Response video captured by the student.
- Cons:
- When viewing the teacher upload video models/questions, the student has to alternate between pause/play (which are not even on the same button).
- Student does not have to also handle pausing/restarting the video recording, but that may be another con: The student cannot pause her video, so the grader will have to skip over pauses in his recording.
- Pros: Looks like a video recording can peacefully coexist with a simultaneous video playback (XP, IE8):

- Are all things Moodle Kaltura on Windows better than on iMacs?
- I don’t think so (Windows 7, IE9): Webcamera cannot be activated, hourglass. Looks like the Flash security dialogue does not make it into the foreground.

How to access most important LRC calendars from quick links on LRC home page
2012/03/08
Leave a comment
- 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”):
