I heard Joe's voice right away but I didn't see the screen shots Joe was referring to until about a fourth of the way through. It took that long to finish completely loading.It was really fun to hear Joe's voice and see what he was doing. I watched it twice and I watched it again after re-starting and it always did the same thing. But I wasn't completely successful. I backed up to my computer just fine and I went to my course in the new Moodle. But for some reason when I went to upload, I couldn't do it. My computer wanted a "file" and what I downloaded was a "folder". Is my browser set wrong or I am I missing somethimng else? Thanks for your help. Beth >>> Online 09/09/06 8:48 AM >>> Try this - Go to: http://teach.lanecc.edu/moodle/Fall2006_flash then click on the first link that says "click me". Also I believe the Quicktime movie (the very first file you tried to view) was there and working, it is just that it is 117M and takes several minutes to download, the file above is much smaller and loads faster. Hope this gets you what you need, if not let me know, Meredith >>> Beth Naylor 09/09/06 8:03 AM >>> Hi Meredith- My computer says "File Not Found" when I use that url. Beth >>> Online 09/08/06 3:34 PM >>> Beth, See if you can view this movie. There are several steps between 'Restore' and being finished. Let me know if you cannot get the movie to play. http://teach.lanecc.edu/moodle/Fall2006_Flash/fall2006_flash.html Meredith ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Use the work order form at: http://teach.lanecc.edu OR email online@lanecc.edu for all future webmaster requests. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ >>> Beth Naylor 09/08/06 3:07 PM >>> Hi David or Joe- I'm not sure who to ask this question. I got the instructions you posted, but I seem to be unclear on the final step and the movie wouldn't play for me. I just saw the title slide. I'm using a new iMac. I backed up, downloaded and then uploaded the entire folder into my "files". Then I clicked on the "Restore" button on the Administration column. What's supposed to happen next? The one I'm fiddled with is FN 230 (CRN 20723). Beth >>> moodleadmin 09/08/06 12:39 PM >>> Dear faculty, The Fall 2006 instance of Moodle is now ready at . After you log in with your L-# and PIN, you should see a list of the courses that are assigned to you in Banner. As I mentioned earlier, the courses as they are don't have any content, and if you already have a course developed in an earlier instance of Moodle, you can replace the course 'shell' with your backed-up course. For more information on how to do that, see the various documentation at (there's also a video there that addresses this topic), or send email to online@lanecc.edu. A couple of caveats and things to note: - When you log in, use only the first six characters of your ExpressLane PIN. If you are having difficulty logging in, call the Help Desk for assistance. If they can't help you get logged in, they will refer the matter to me, and I can make sure that your account is properly set up. Please give them your name and L-# when you talk to them. - In some cases, it's possible that the list of courses may be incomplete. If this happens, it's most likely because the process for assigning your L-# to that course in Banner has not been completed for some reason. If that happens, please send email to moodleadmin@lanecc.edu with information about you and the course (your L-#, and the CRN and if possible the course number of the course). Resolving the problem may in some cases require you (or us) to check with the person responsible for submitting course requests in your department. - Version: for various reasons, we have moved to Moodle 1.6; Moodle 1.5 is the version we used for Summer 2006. If you don't see a feature that you are used to, please send email to online@lanecc.edu to ask about it. After you log in, you may want to edit your profile (just click on your name where it says "Your are logged in as..." in the upper right-hand corner, and then click the "Edit profile" tab). Here's why: - In some cases, we may not have been able to get your email address, either because you don't have one entered in Banner, or because it didn't make it into our data stream due to the vagaries of the import process. In these cases, we've set a fake address (your L-number@emailnotset.lanecc.edu). - The City and Description fields are set to stock values, mostly for privacy considerations. You are welcome to change these fields however you like. - In some cases, the Country field may not be set correctly. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to contact us. For questions about using Moodle (general usage, features, and so forth), please email online@lanecc.edu. For problems logging in, please call the Help Desk at Ext. 4444. For problems arising with the server (including classes that are not listed, an inability to edit your courses, or students not showing up in your class lists), please email moodleadmin@lanecc.edu. One last note: the transition to Moodle has been a major project (actually, it still IS a major project), resting on some very hard work by a number of different people. You--the instructors who are using it--are an important part of that team. We value your feedback and your input, and view this term as being the start of implementing the new site, not the end. (Let me also reiterate that the appearance of the site will change as we get closer to the start of the school year. Among other things, we will add a link to a new FAQ for students, which addresses some of the most common problems that students tend to have. We are in the process of writing that document and will link to it as soon as it's ready.) Beyond that, however, if you have any thoughts or suggestions about improving the site and how it works, we encourage you to contact us. Here's to a smooth Fall term!
