What is the difference between "view" and "use this template" under the assignment details section? Amy

By selecting "view" you are able to look at a LT document before you actually create and work on it in your account.

By selecting "use this template" you create are creating a LT document that you can edit and turn as part of your assignment.

I apologize for the "LT". I can not count how many times I have typed "livetext" in the last 2 years.

Why the "Dashboard" tab and the "Courses" tab, since they both function in similar ways?

BigTom said...

Abby > i currently do not why there is some redundancy in the new system.

My best guess is that the dashboard is more student centered function and courses tab is a more faculty/administrator centered function.

Hey Big Tom
I do not like this *@#!new generation at all! Once again I went into documents ;opened the recent IEP I was working on and all I have is a blank template. I am in need of remedial livetext sessions! At least when I had to copy the document I knew where my work was.I have since attached the document from my zip stick to the completed link. I know I double checked yesterday: save and finish and I backed it up. Dianne mentioned that I need to re-attach the file.
I cannot even find the edit properties thing.
The ship is not sinking yet Big Tom but I see some major icebergs ahead!!!
I just do not get this new format.

Annie> Do you have classes wednesday or thursday?

Could you come in either wednesday or thursday before your class?

I am in office 119A. Let me know ahead of time when you want to come in.
