navigating SFU’s learning management system
I found this great blog that a director of an educational technology centre is writing. His blog is what I intend this blog to be - a source of information on changes, work-arounds, and other comments.
IE7 is already available for download, and they’ll start “pushing” it to users soon.
Currently, IE7 is NOT a supported browser for WebCT CE6. I’ve already downloaded the new Internet Explorer, and it seems to work just fine with WebCT, but I do get the annoying pop-up window warning me that it’s not a supported browser. WebCT is aware of this, and is currently testing the new browser.
There is a nice summary of some of the WebDav issues here. For me, WebDav seems to work best in IE6 on a PC. I dearly miss the ability to upload files with WebDav directly from Dreamweaver, and that has been reported to WebCT.
I learned today that there is apparently code that you can add to a quiz so that students cannot print it out.
You can access the discussion thread on this topic in the Ask DrC forums.
I havn’t explored all of the suggestions I got when I asked how to load audio files neatly into HTML pages, but I did learn that using the “a href” tag is not a good thing for audio files.
When it works well, it rocks. Sometimes it just doesn’t quite work, and I never understand why.
This series of postings on the Ask DrC site provides some answers such as which Dreamweaver is best, how best to use Network Places and what a Goliath download is. I don’t quite understand everything they are talking about, but sounds like good advice to me.
