Chat Log C:\Documents and Settings\Tammy Stephens\My Documents\ChatLog Moodle Course Support Ongoing 2011_09_28 21_09.rtf

  Tammy Stephens (to All - Entire Audience): once we start screen sharing we will be recording this session :) Sue (to All - Entire Audience): You can type a message here for all to see or select an individual to send a message to. Tammy Stephens (to All - Entire Audience): the other option is to call in using the phone cj (to All - Entire Audience): Louise can you hear us? Tammy Stephens (to All - Entire Audience): unfortunately she didn't fill in the phone number on form Tammy Stephens (to All - Entire Audience): however, if the recording works we can post this Sue (to All - Entire Audience): Tammy, do you mean change to a different theme or change the color of a theme Tammy Stephens (to All - Entire Audience): both really sue Sue (to All - Entire Audience): Then the answer varies. If you change the color as an admin you will also change how that theme looks

for everyone. cj (to All - Entire Audience): can you hear us louise? Sue (to All - Entire Audience): Connie try editing in Marcia's course. Sue (to All - Entire Audience): Connie I want to see if the html editor is working Sue (to All - Entire Audience): There are times when you want to use basic web features! Sue (to All - Entire Audience): You need to type in any html tags Sue (to All - Entire Audience): URL display options (the number available to you) also depends on admin settings. We have a setting in-

frame available to us at the hosting site. Sue (to All - Entire Audience): What I've read about Moodle 2.2 is that there will be an option to provide a description after the URL

rather than needing to use a separate label. Sue (to All - Entire Audience): You must type in the page description; however, the display of both the title and description are optional Sue (to All - Entire Audience): Let me recommend in the Workshop reviewing the page "Screenshots of editing page" in The Page

Feature section for understanding building a page. Sue (to All - Entire Audience): I like to not display the page name because I often prefer to put the title at the top of the Page content

box. Then I can control font size, etc. cj (to All - Entire Audience): Louise can you hear us? Louise Weber (to All - Entire Audience): I can hear Louise Weber (to All - Entire Audience): General discussion tonight was fine. One quick question...is there a way to disable messaging

between students in my course? Louise Weber (to All - Entire Audience): I keep losing the audio. Is this a problem with Go to Meeting? Louise Weber (to All - Entire Audience): Ok...the message I get is I am losing connection to Go to Meeting. Also, audio cuts in and out Tammy Stephens (to All - Entire Audience): thanks! Louise Weber (to All - Entire Audience): Thanks.

Intellectual Property Rights

AKLN 2012

Copyright and Electronic Publishing

The same copyright protections exist for the author of a work regardless of whether the work is in print, in a library research database, a blog, an online discussion board or comment space, or any social media formats.

Note that the Internet IS NOT the public domain. There are both copyrighted and uncopyrighted materials online. Always assume a work online is copyrighted.

AKLN 2012

Tips for Using Online Information

Always credit the source of your information. If you do not see an individual named as the author, do not forget that the author may in fact be the organization responsible for the Web site. Credit the organization.

Find out if the author of a work (e.g., text, video, audio, graphic, etc.) provides information on how to use his or her work. If the author provides explicit guidelines, follow them.

Whenever feasible, ask the copyright holder for permission. If no copyright holder is specifically named, do not assume that the material is in the public domain. Assume that the copyright holder is the author, whether it be an individual or an organization. Keep a copy of your request for permission and the permission received.

AKLN 2012

materials when producing a project for a specific course.

Faculty may include portions of copyrighted works when producing their own multimedia project for their teaching in support of curriculum-based instructional activities at educational institutions.
