What is Tegrity? (link)

Tegrity is a "course capture" or "lecture capture" software system that allows for the recording of class sessions. Computer screens are captured, as well as the audio of the presentation. If the room is equipped with a static camera or a tracking camera, video of the presenter, professor or whiteboard/chalkboard writing can be captured and included as well.

Tegrity is integrated with Sakai, W&L's course management system, and students can access course capture presentations online through the course site.

Check your Delivery Dates and the time of day. 

Sakai allows you to set both the date and the time-- down to the second-- when your assessment will become available. Because it uses by default the time that you publish the assessment, you might find that the time is later than you expected.

If you use the entire e-mail address, Sakai creates a guest account instead of using the regular account that's already there, so the regular account won't see the website.

How do I use Sakai discussion forum to have students post papers and three students leave comments? (link)

Add the discussion forum tool to the site.

Allow new threads and allow attachments.

Have the students create a thread, post their assignments as attachments and then have three other students post replies to those threads. If a student goes in and sees that a particular paper already has three replies, then she or he needs to look at another paper. I don’t think there’s a way you can enforce this automatically, you just have to tell the students to pay attention.

 

If you look at the times submitted for the replies, you’ll be able to see who did the first three replies.

There are major steps in order to use Outlook Delegates. The first is to select the user and add him as a delegate. You then must share your mailbox to that user.

  1. Go to File and choose Info
  2. Go to account settings and choose Delegate Access
  3. Delegates Tab and click Add
  4. Select the user who wish to grant access to and click Add and then Ok

Note: There are more options you can choose from once you select OK after adding that user. Nothing in the next window is necessary to grant send on behalf.

  1. When back at the main Outlook window, in the Folder List, choose your mailbox at the root level. This will appear as Mailbox – Full Name
  2. Right-click and choose Change Sharing Permissions
  3. Click the Add button
  4. Select the user who wish to grant access to and click Add and then Ok
  5. In the permissions section, you must grant the user at minimum, Non-editing Author.

A user wanting to send 'on behalf of' will need to a start new email, go to Options, Select the From item and search on the person that has allowed them delgate access.

I create an e-mail with the delay delivery option and get an error (unsent messages in your Outbox...) when closing e-mail for the night. What do I do? (link)

In Outlook 2007 and domain computers, there is a group policy object in place that prevents caching mode.  If a computer is NOT in the domain OR is using Outlook 2010, then that policy does not apply, and by default, cached mode gets turned on. 

 

To turn it off, go to File, Account Settings, Account Settings.  Select her name, hit change.  “Use cached exchange mode” should be unchecked.

Restart Outlook

I’m getting bounce backs on a previously good e-mail address, what should I do? (link)

Sometimes you will get a bounce back from an e-mail address that you have used before. Please forward as an attachment the bounce back to mtrimmer@wlu.edu.  If it is determined that there is an invalid address that has gotten into your auto-complete address list you will need to remove the invalid address and manually enter correct address.

 

To remove the bad address you will need to remove the Name@address.com entry in you auto-complete list (the list of address that come up when you start typing in the To field). To remove the entry start typing “N” in the To field of a new message, use the arrow keys to move up and down the list until Name@address.com is highlighted, and press the Delete key.

 

After this you can manually type the address once and it will then again be in you auto-complete list, this time with the correct address.

  11. Tests & Quizzes > Assessments

We do not provide copies of the address list for two primary reasons. 1 - it becomes a nightmare to troubleshoot issues as more and more out-of-date address lists are in use, 2 - if a machine holding these addresses gets infected with a virus that uses or collects addresses then our whole address list would be compromised.
