Label:

Moving a label (left/right or up/down) with a YouTube video inserted breaks the video player until page refresh.

 

Refresh the page and the video player should return to normal. 29/10/2019

Case closed by Blackboard Ticket #04290489

Gradebook import:

Gradebook categories and items are not imported for courses containing Turnitin activities.

There is no workaround, missing categories and items will need to be manually recreated. 12/12/2019 Logged with Blackboard for investigation. Ticket #04265125 & #04244047

Quiz:

When Quiz attempts data has been changed through the Backup and Restore tool, they cannot be moved back to the original date after new attempts have been made.

There is no workaround as the feature to move Quiz attempts data has been removed in Moodle 3.4

05/07/2019

Case closed by Blackboard 
Ticket #04187263

This issue will not be fixed.

Media Collection Assignment:

When the "Assignment Submission in Media Collection" setting is used with "require students to click the submit button" or group submission, students are given an error message when submitting.

Currently no workaround. 01/07/2019 Logged with Blackboard for investigation. Ticket #04191155

VoiceThread:

When accessing VoiceThread using Safari, cannot leave a video/video comment. Error says your computer's microphone/camera is not configured.

This affects Safari only. Please use other browsers like Firefox, Chrome etc as a workaround. 01/10/2019 This issue will not be fixed.

Gradebook Export:

Exporting the Gradebook to an excel spreadsheet times out for courses that have thousands of student enrolments.

"Plain Text Format" (CSV) export takes only a few seconds. 26/06/2019 Moodle HQ is aware of the issue MDL-57612 but there is no current schedule for a fix to be implemented.
Ticket#04183854

OU Blog:

Using an individual blog with the Separate groups option prevents students from viewing comments for group member's blog posts.

Currently no workaround. 26/06/2019 Logged with Blackboard for investigation. Ticket #04187303

Course Overview On Campus:

Courses under UNSW Online are being displayed incorrectly in the course overview on-campus block.

Currently no workaround. 24/06/2019

Issue has been reported to Blackboard.

Case closed by Blackboard Ticket # 04179390

This issue will not be fixed.

Media Collection Activity:

The dropdown does not automatically default to the originally selected gallery when the Resubmit/Submit button is clicked.

This issue can be fixed by selecting the gallery manually.  05/06/2019 This issue will not be fixed.

H5P:

H5P activities should be used to engage students with activities and to enhance interactivity in the course.

We do not recommend the use of H5P activities for assessable components, that could earn grades for students. 28/05/2019 This issue is on the H5P roadmap to be addressed in the future

Media Collection Activity:

The add comment button does not appear in the first instance of the page while viewing the Media collection gallery. 

This issue can be fixed by clicking on the adjacent "Course", "Private" or "Feedback" tab. 27/05/2019

Using other browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox are recommended. 14/05/2019

Case closed by Blackboard
Ticket #04142150

Course Template tool:

The correct Course Template is not used to create new courses if you rename the original and use a new one with the same course shortname as the previous. 

Request course cache to be cleared or avoid renaming template sandpit courses once created. 13/05/2019 More permanent solution is being investigated by Blackboard.
Ticket #04146422


Log-In-As: 

When staff log in as a another user for troubleshooting / design purposes, they are unable to view Stack questions, as well as Embed Codes from theBox or H5P.

Other tools may also be affected.

This is due to a security patch applied in April 2019, to protect logged-in-as users from running inappropriate code.

 

The best work-around at this stage is to use "Switch role to" as a student as it is not affected by this issue.

This is not a perfect work-around as 'Switch role to' will not show you what a specific student sees. In this case you may need to ask them to show you in person, or send you screenshots.

Additionally, in some rare circumstances the 'switch role to' will inherit permissions from the original users role, meaning the view is inaccurate.

01/05/2019

This has been investigated by Blackboard in
ticket #04138904, and subsequently escalated to Moodle HQ.

Status: Waiting Moodle HQ.

Sharing Cart: 

Instructors when copying activities/resources will always contain user data.

To ensure user data is not copied across, for applicable activities;

  1. Duplicate the activity
  2. Copy the duplicated activity to sharing cart
  3. Delete the activity duplicated in step 1
  4. The activity now saved in sharing cart will not contain user data
13/05/2019

Fixed as part of May Moodle release. UNSW3-695

STACK question:

An error message appears If the answer of a question is "cos(1200*%pi*t)". 

Instructors can grade the question manually. 29/03/2019

Currently being investigated by Blackboard.
Ticket #04104234.

Forum Activity:

YouTube videos in threaded replies (Forum activity) fail to stop playing the audio even after the reply is collapsed. 

Currently no workaround. 29/03/2019 This is not currently planned to be fixed.

H5P:
Staff are unable to create new H5P activities due to error message "You must select a content type".

It has been reported that editing of activities is working in general, however at least one exception (such as adding a slide to an existing activity) has been identified.

Currently no workaround. 18/03/2019

Issue has been raised with Moodle Support.

Bugfix patch (UNSW3-677) is scheduled for 03/04/2019.

Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin: Students cannot view submitted paper or similarity report.

Currently no workaround. 22/10/2018 Issue has been raised with Turnitin and Moodle support.

Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin: Instructor cannot view the similarity score in the grading screen until the due date.

Instructors can access an individual student’s similarity report before the due date via the Feedback Studio.

22/10/2018 Issue has been raised with Turnitin and Moodle support.

Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin: Students can resubmit an assignment when the assignment settings do not allow resubmission.

Currently no workaround. 22/10/2018 Issue has been raised with Turnitin and Moodle support.

Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin: Instant similarity reports are generated for submissions even after the third attempt.

Currently no workaround. 22/10/2018

Currently students cannot see their similarity reports hence they cannot game the system with frequent resubmissions.

Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin: Students can resubmit even after the due date.

The Moodle assignment settings override the Turnitin settings. Setting the due date and the cut-off date to the same date in the assignment (not Turnitin) will prevent resubmission after the due date.

22/10/2018 Issue has been raised with Turnitin and Moodle support.

Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin: Instructor cannot view Peermark.

Currently no workaround. 22/10/2018

There will be no impact to students or marking as currently Peermark cannot be enabled when the assignment is set up.

Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin: Students are unable to view rubrics.

Attach a PDF copy of the rubric to the assignment for students to access. 22/10/2018

Issue has been raised with Turnitin and Moodle support.

Course Contact Tool:
The course contact tool is deployed pre-semester, but occasionally loads blank (being unusable).

This can be resolved by an Instructor or TELT Admin following these steps:

1) Delete existing course contact link
2) Create a new external tool activity
3) In the name field, enter "Click here to view course contact details"
3) In the Tool URL Field, enter "https://myprofile.teaching.unsw.edu.au/api/"

4) Under Privacy, uncheck "accept grades from this tool"
5) Save and return to the Course.

25/07/2018 Please use the workaround. The tool is currently being scoped for a redesign.
Moodle StudentQuiz Activity: If an 'Essay' type question is created in a quiz, when attempting to complete the quiz, no "Next" or "Finish" button is shown on screen and users cannot progress. When adding the StudentQuiz activity, under Advanced Settings for allowed question types manually select all applicable options omitting the 'Essay' option.  18/05/2018 This is not currently planned to be fixed.
Moodle course overview - performance issues when users are enrolled in a large number of courses as an instructor. Don't enrol in courses unless you are an instructor in that course. Administrative users can access course without enrolling.  12/03/2018

Moodle HQ are working on performance improvements MDL-61384 and MDL-55611

Moving inserted videos in Moodle from theBox: Within 'settings', if you click the option to move the content, upon the page refreshing, the media player generated changes and displays larger in size. A manual refresh of the browser is required before the appropriate media player is generated and displayed in its new position.  26/02/2018 This is not currently planned to be fixed. If experienced please refresh the browser as per the workaround.
Teaching Assistant Role: Role updates in UNSW3-305 have removed Teaching Assistants ability to modify Course Resources and Activities. Users with an Instructor role are unaffected and can add/modify/delete resources and activities. 14/02/2018 TA role permissions are being reviewed by Blackboard. Ticket #03092962
theBox video transcoding notice missing: When uploading a Video to theBox instead of observing a message that the video is still transcoding, a progress indicator is displayed with no message on the status. Refresh the page in a few minutes time. Once complete the progress indicator disappears.  28/02/2018

Blackboard have been asked to investigate the cause. Ticket #03070409. 

A fix is anticipated for mid-March.

User Synchronisation Issue (myUNSW / Moodle): There is currently an issue affecting the synchronisation of staff and students from myUNSW to Moodle for Semester 1 2018 courses. Anyone who already had access won't be affected. No Workaround. 08/02/2018 Blackboard have implemented a fix which will be deployed in the February Moodle release. Issue will be resolved on the 15th February. Ticket #03061498.
Safari - Embed Codes: When using Safari and adding media content in Moodle using Embed Codes, the page will reload and not display the media player. If using Safari, a refresh of the page will be required after inserting the media item, for the media player to be generated.  03/01/2018 Investigated by Blackboard. Ticket #465392
Share codes for MP3: Adding MP3 content in Moodle using Share Code's from theBox will not generate a working media player. Insert MP3 content from theBox via embed code instead. 03/01/2018 Investigated by Blackboard. Ticket #465516
Moodle Player Issues: Videos inserted in Moodle from theBox via the "Insert Moodle Media" may in some cases, cause older content to auto download. Insert content into Moodle using theBox embed codes. 28/02/2018 Developers are aware of this issue and are working to apply a fix as soon as possible. For more information, please contact TELT. Tickets #03050612, #03055364 & UNSW-378.
Workshop & UNSW Workshop: Students’ assessment marks are not computed correctly when using comparison against the best assessment. 1) Make use of the tool for submission marks only. This is done by hiding the assessment mark in the gradebook. OR
2) Manually enter the peer assessment marks as overrides. The overrides must be done in the Gradebook – either by direct entry in the Grader Report, or as an import (see next issue). Once below issue is resolved, overrides can also be done directly in the workshop activity.
23/10/2017 Currently being investigated by Netspot. Ticket #: 413044
Workshop & UNSW Workshop: When an assessment mark is overridden within the Workshop activity (not in the Gradebook), the old mark is still recorded as the grade – i.e. the student sees the old mark only, both in the activity and in the grade book. Grade overrides must be done in the Gradebook – either by direct entry in the Grader Report or as an import.

Note: When using this workaround, the instructor should tell students to disregard the bracketed numbers and the column for assessment marks when accessing the Workshop activity in Closed phase.
23/10/2017 Currently being investigated by Netspot. Ticket #: 413044
Gradebook import: xlsx and xml files are not able to be imported. Export and import .csv files only. 17/10/2017 This issue has been reported to Blackboard who are investigating a solution.
Course Import / Progress Bar: Importing from a course with multiple progress bar blocks will only result in one progress bar block being imported, the most recently created progress bar block. There is no current workaround available. 17/10/2017 This issue has been reported to Blackboard who are investigating a solution: Ticket number 462956
Moodle Quiz: Editing a close type question after it has been completed by a user can result in the question breaking. This prevents subsequent users from using this question.

Best practice is to not edit quiz questions after the quiz has become live in your course.

If editing a close type question is required minor changes may be allowed but if you see the prompt "I confirm that I want the question to be saved as edited" 
do not save the changes as this will result in the question breaking.

17/10/2017 Moodle HQ is aware of the issue MDL-52703 but there is no current schedule for a fix to be implemented.
Users of the internet service provider 'Belong (Telstra)' are unable to connect to Moodle. Use a different internet provider if possible, perhaps from the UNSW Campus.   We recommend contacting your internet service provider so that they can identify and resolve the issue.
Choice activity: If you limit the number of responses allowed you receive an error “This choice is full and there are no available places” (MOOD-5522) Do not limit the number of responses to the choice activity. 14/11/2017 Currently a known issue. Moodle HQ tracker issue: MDL-56881
OU Wiki: images and other media inserted in heading text in sections causes an error when clicking on "Edit section" link. Highlight the image or media that has been tagged incorrectly and set back to paragraph formatting before saving. 9/11/2017 This issue has been reported to Blackboard. Ticket #463947
Embeded videos: Users are able to play an embedded video even when there are
restrictions in place for an activity/resource.
Manually hide the restricted activitie/resource that require restrictions. 27/10/201 This issue has been reported to Blackboard. Ticket #: 463501
Moodle is intermittently unresponsive: Staff/students may intermittently experience Moodle activities/resources being unresponsive. For example, a section may not expand/collapse when clicked on, or a threaded forum may not open. This is believed to be related to javascript. Please refresh your webpage, as testing has confirmed that this issue is intermittent and will usually be resolved. 23/10/2017 This issue has been reported to Blackboard. Ticket #: 455843
Advanced Forum: The reset table preferences button does not stick (MOOD-4389). Manually show the column again rather than clicking the reset table link. 23/10/2017 This issue has been identified by Moodle and is being looked at under MDL-41730.
Moodle File/Folder: Users get a "Can't find server" error in Moodle when trying to access a file or folder. The issue is sporadic. Click the file or folder again.   This issue has been reported to Blackboard. Ticket #: 448597
Moodle Media Collection: When using group mode within an assignment collection the settings to restrict the number of "Maximum galleries" does not work as intended. There is no current workaround available. 17/10/2017 This issue has been reported to Blackboard to develop a fix. Ticket #: 448253
Moodle Media Collection: When using a media collection with the settings to allow students to create an unlimited number of galleries student will be unable to add any galleries at all. There is no current workaround available. 17/10/2017 This issue has been reported to Blackboard to develop a fix. Ticket #: 448253
Forum activity: When clicking Show parent in a forum, all posts in the forum are marked as read. There is no current workaround available. 17/10/2017 This issue has been reported to Blackboard to develop a fix. Ticket #: 448074
Forum activity: A users personal preference setting "Automatically mark posts as read" does not work correctly for the forum activity, when it is set as a "single simple discussion". Posts are not automatically marked as read and the button to do so manually is not available.

Other forum types do not have this issue.

Alternatively, users can choose to have the preference set to no and therefore have access to the manual button in all locations.

 
17/10/2017 This issue has been reported to the developer in Netspot. Ticket #: 438804
Quiz tool: In situations where a quiz contains a mix of manual and automatically graded questions, If changes are made to the multiple choice answers after submissions have been made some attempts will be automatically graded and some will be listed as "Not yet graded" Attempts that are not yet graded must be done so manually. 17/10/2017 Currently being investigated by our developer on Blackboard ticket #: 446067.

Media Collection activity: Users are unable to choose files to upload to a media gallery when using Firefox on Windows and clicking the Select your file button.

Option 1: Drag and drop your file into the uploader instead of clicking Select your file.

Option 2: Change the drop-down beside File name to All files.

Option 3: Use a different browser.

  Currently being investigated by our developer on Blackboard ticket #: 445853.
Moodle Message menu: The Moodle message menu is not visible when accessed via iOS devices. Use a supported operating system and browser.   This is an iOS issue that may be fixed through future updates.
Course Grid Format: Grid format is not readable by JAWS screen reading software for visually impaired students.

1) Avoid using the grid format

2) Change your course format to the topic or weekly format if you are already using it.

  Grid format developer is currently updating the plugin to improve accessibility.  Moodle tracker issue: CONTRIB-3240.
Gradebook: When working with the grade book in multiple tabs, filtering the list in one tab (tab 1) can cause problems when entering grades in the second tab (tab 2) as the list filtered in tab 1 has caused updates not reflected in tab 2. Do not use multiple tabs when working with the grade book. 17/10/2017 Currently a known issue by Moodle HQ. Moodle tracker issue: MDL-42306
IMS Content Package: Bad URL links in PDF file and HTML page, XSD not displayed clearly in IMS Content package (MOOD-2070) There is no current workaround available. Avoid linking using anchors within pages and only use the main TOC for navigation.   Currently a known issue.
 
Search Users: On activities/tools that allow you to search users, the checkbox "If only one user matches the search, select them automatically" does not work. There is no current workaround available. 23/10/2017 Currently a known issue by Moodle HQ.  Moodle tracker issue: MDL-26363
Quiz: When an Adaptive Mode quiz that allows re-attempts is created the feedback is for the last saved answer, not last submitted/graded. There is no current workaround available. 23/10/2017 Currently a known issue by Moodle HQ. Moodle tracker issue: MDL-35325
Turnitin Assignment: Turnitin calculates grades incorrectly when a zero scale is specified. This occurs most commonly where an Instructor sets a task with two parts e.g. one section worth 0 marks and the second section worth 20 marks. In this case, if a marker gives a 0/0 mark for the first section the total calculates incorrectly. The preferred workaround is not to set assignments or sections of assignments worth zero marks. If there is no alternative to the use of zero marks then do not mark the section that is worth zero marks and the calculation will occur correctly. For example,
Student J: (-/0) + 12/20 = 60% (correct)
Student C: 0/0 + 12/20 = 300% (incorrect)
23/10/2017 We are working with Turnitin and Netspot to resolve this issue either by restricting the number of characters that can be entered when the assignment is created or by increasing the number of characters allowed.
Moodle Mobile App: Unable to add audio-only content as student. There is no current workaround available.   This is a limitation of the iOS7 as it does not allow files other than photos or images from the internal gallery.
Moodle Mobile App: White "contents" heading text overlaps underlying interface on iOS7 iPhone 5. There is no current workaround available.   Currently a known issue by Moodle HQ. Moodle tracker issue: MOBILE-462
Mobile Devices: No embed code available when accessing YouTube from an iPad (MOOD-2234) If you need to post videos on YouTube, use a desktop browser. 24/10/2017 The mobile version of the YouTube website does not provide access to the embed code.
Mobile Devices: Receive a SAML error when trying to use the "Web" icon within Moodle Mobile App (MOOD-2051) There is no current workaround available.   Currently a known issue by Moodle HQ. Moodle tracker issue: MOBILE-529, MOBILE-113
Win7 64bit Chrome 30 > Maple TA Activity >Instructor is unable to add a Maple TA activity as the course is not mapped to a Maple TA class via the Maple T.A course tools block (MOOD-2543) There is no current workaround available.   MapleTA is not integrated with Moodle.
Moodle Mobile App: Horizontal scroll doesn't work properly during grading (MOOD-1996) Use the mobile theme to grade the assignment instead of the Moodle Mobile app.   Currently a known issue. by Moodle HQ. Moodle tracker issue: MOBILE-640
iPad4 Safari 7 > Lightbox Gallery - Multiple image upload from Camera Roll & Images Per Page Issue (MOOD-1810) Rename each file before upload from the Camera Roll. 24/10/2017 This is a limitation of the way iOS handles uploads from the Camera Roll as every uploaded file has the name "image.jpg".
Mobile Devices: iPad4 Safari 7 > User boxes always say "0 Items" (MOOD-2360) There is no current workaround available. 24/10/2017

Currently a known issue by Moodle HQ. Moodle tracker issue: MDL-45385

MOOD-2666 Can upload multiple files but only the first will be displayed using an iPad.

Moodle lets the user select which of the multiple files they are uploading is the 'main' file, which is the one shown by default.

You need to select the 'main' file if you upload mutiple files in order for the 'main file' to be displayed. If you do not select a 'main' file, Moodle selects one for you automatically.

24/10/2017

YouTube search: When searching for a YouTube video using the Moodle Media button or in a Moodle Media Collection YouTube gallery, it returns a video saying that your device or app is not supported.

YouTube is currently changing their technical interface that allows users to access YouTube from other apps such as Moodle.
To add a YouTube video to your course, navigate to YouTube first and search for your video.  Once you have found your video, copy the URL from the address bar (the URL looks like this) and paste this in the editor in your Moodle course or the Youtube URL field in the Media Collection. 24/10/2017 Currently being investigated by Netspot. Ticket #: 434466.
Cannot load Voice Authoring applet due to Java security settings in the browser (MOOD-3555, MOOD-3557) Use an alternative browser.   This issue affects Chrome 4X on Windows 7 PC and Safari 9 on El Capitan as the Java plugin is not supported.

Issues listed here have been identified in our testing Moodle 3.3 environment.

Issue Workaround Date Updated Status

Click the blank area right behind the course name at the top of the grader report table.   This issue has been reported to the theme developer.

Quiz: Quiz navigation block appears at the bottom of a page. This is easy to miss and
difficult to locate particularly with long quizzes.
Try to make quiz pages short by limiting the number of quiz questions displayed on each page.    This issue has been reported to the theme developer.
Turnitin Assignment: Section activity list on the left-hand side of the screen is missing in Turnitin Assignment activities. Use the navigation block to access any other section or activity.   This issue has been reported to the theme developer.

Settings > Course administration > Edit settings > Course format > Toggle foreground (change to a darker colour e.g. black).
  This issue has been reported to the theme developer.
Questionnaire: When editing or adding questions, large edit and delete icons appear. No workaround.    This issue has been reported to the theme developer.

Resolved issues

Issue Workaround Date Updated Status
Collapsed Topics: When a section is hidden, the "Edit" button becomes un-clickable. Users cannot unhide a section by clicking "Edit".

Embedded theBox videos: Some embedded videos from theBox display 'shaky' footage when added using the Moodle Media button and viewed with a Chrome browser. If staff log in directly to theBox and access the embed code for a video, this can be added as HTML code anywhere the Moodle text editor is available.    This issue has been reported to the theme developer.

Participant role permissions: If a Participant Role user in a Collaborate Ultra session joins the Session before a Moderator Role user joins, then Participant Role users will lose any audio, video, chat, or whiteboard permissions they initially had. If all Moderator Role users in a session leave the session, then any remaining Participant Role users will lose any audio, video, chat, or whiteboard permissions they previously had in the session.

To prevent Participant Role users from losing permissions the Moderator Role user should be the first to enter the session. If the Moderator Role User joins the session after Participant permissions have been removed the Moderator Role user can enable the Participant Permissions for the Live Session.

Issue Workaround Date Updated  Status 
Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin | Feedback Studio feedback not syncing with all group members: If group submission is enabled, leaving feedback via the Turnitin Feedback Studio will only be accessible by the group member which submitted the work. Use the Feedback Studio to check for originality. When grading/leaving feedback, it's best to do so via the Moodle Assignment grading screen. You may grade and leave feedback which may then be applied simultaneously for all group members. Additional information located here. 24/09/2018 A case has been raised with Turnitin. Currently being investigated. Case: #00766169.
Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin | Students unable to view attached rubrics before assignment submission: Students submitting assignments via a Turnitin enabled Moodle Assignment activity will not be able to access the Turnitin attached rubric. The page will get stuck trying to load the rubric. 

Students can still access the attached rubric via the Turnitin Feedback Studio. (Only after grades have been released) Alternatively, if you wish for students to be able to view a rubric prior to submission, attach as a document in the Moodle Assignment.

Open Assignment activity > Settings > Assignment administration > Edit Settings > Additional Files

24/09/2018 A case has been raised with Turnitin. Currently being investigated. Case: #00766130.
Assignment submission: Some students can't submit assignments to Turnitin.

Students can access a past assignment will trigger the display of the privacy terms and conditions.

Once this is accepted, users can submit in the current assignment.

25/05/2018 Turnitin resolved this at 4.45pm (AEST) on 25th May for the majority of users. New or reactivated users may still experience the issue. Turnitin are periodically running a script to rectify the issue for newly affected users until a permanent solution is implemented.
iPad issue: The keyboard is not generated on iPads when writing comments using feedback studio in Safari. Users intending to use feedback studio in iPads, need to download the Turnitin app version 3.0.2. 22/09/2017 TII has indicated that issues with feedback studio using Safari on iPad will not be investigated.
Feedback studio: The feedback studio allows instructors and/ or graders to award a mark more than the maximum mark configured in the settings of the TII assignment. When this happens,  Turnitin reports inconsistent marks to the grade book of the course. Instructors and users with grading access need to ensure that the mark allocated in the feedback studio is less than or equal to the maximum. 22/09/2017 TII has indicated that this is not a bug and is not intended to be fixed.

Turnitin rubrics: When creating rubrics with Turnitin Direct Version 2 the overlay has a close button, clicking on the close button doesn’t do anything.

Use the alternative close button at the top right-hand corner of the overlay 21/09/2016 TII has indicated that this is not intended to be fixed. Ticket: 00547460

Assignment submissions: Occasionally when students try to submit a Turnitin assignment at UNSW, their submission may duplicate itself within the Turnitin assignment inbox.

This is usually because they have been assigned a duplicate email address that has previously been used by another UNSW student who has now left.

Contact the IT Service Desk by email and ask them to urgently transfer your ticket to PVCE.ETS.SUPPORT. 16/10/2017

A permanent solution is currently being investigated by UNSW with Turnitin. This is being actively monitored by TELT support daily to detect such instances. 

Turnitin Assignment: Assignment "Due soon" notifications are appearing before the start date of a Turnitin assignment. This could cause a little confusion among students No workaround at this time 24/03/2017 Netspot are investigating via service ticket: 456635

UNSW Lecture Recordings+

UNSW Lecture Recordings+ Issues

Issue Workaround Date Updated Status

Display issue for Non-Latin characters in PowerPoint

When you upload a PowerPoint to Echo, some non-Latin characters may not be displayed correctly. It especially affects language courses where Japanese characters may be changed to Chinese characters with incorrect spacing and formatting.

Please save the PowerPoint as PDF and upload the PDF to Echo, so it does not change or format the text. 20/08/2018 Echo are aware of this issue. Pending for a fix in future releases. No expected date yet.

Embed YouTube videos in MS PPT via Echo360 Ribbon Media Slide not displaying correctly

When using the Echo PowerPoint Ribbon and adding a Media Slide, embedding a YouTube video will display condensed / narrow when viewing the presentation in "Slide Show" mode. 

You may choose to instead present via a browser through Lecture Recordings+ however will loose transitions, animations and other effects if your PowerPoint has these.  24/04/2018 Echo are aware of this issue. Pending a fix for a future release. No expected date as of yet. Case #43637

A black/green screen is displayed in a lecture recording after the lecturer uses a portable device.

It has been discovered that a number of subscription services that provide copyrighted material will engage HDCP encryption on lectern PCs. Spotify and Netflix have been tested and are all confirmed, but other services that play copyrighted material such as Stan are likely to behave the same way.

If possible, using a analog connection (eg. VGA) will prevent HDCP being used.

Alternately, turning off HDCP on the portable device, if the device supports this.

For more advice, please contact venue support to identify if this is the cause of your issue.

  HDCP is working as designed, as controlled by the user device. Hence this cannot be corrected by UNSW.

Issue with display and interactions with polls or questions:

There have been reports of issues when trying to answer questions or polls with Echo360 ALP. If you experience issues with how the system is displayed, or if you are unable to submit answers to questions, please try using a different web browser or clearing your browser cache.

We recommend using the Firefox or Google Chrome web browsers. Also try clear your browser cache. If the issue persists please advise your instructor.
    17/10/2017 Monitor, new instances have not been reported.

    Clicking on a UNSWLR+ link in Moodle asks you to login again

    Some users report being asked to login again, after they have clicked on a link within Moodle. They then find they cannot login to the link.

    The UNSWLR+ service requires you to have cookies enabled, as this allows users to transfer between Moodle/UNSW LR+.

    Enabling cookies on your web-browser will fix this issue. For help doing this, please contact the UNSW IT Service Centre (02 9385 1333).

    17/10/2017 This is working as designed, as controlled by the user device, so cannot be corrected by UNSW.

    Live Streaming issue:

    Staff and students live streaming from iOS devices like iPhones and iPad's will experience an approximate 40s time delay.

    For all other devices, such as Microsoft or Apple computers, the expected time delay is 5-10 seconds.

    We recommend that staff/students avoid iOS devices for live streaming if possible, as a 40 second delay will definitely affect their ability to interact with the classroom.
        Echo360 are aware of this but have no scheduled solution, as this is controlled by Apple.

      Network issue:

      Users with poor network connectivity may receive the error message "An unknown error occurred" when accessing the ALP service via Moodle. This is not typically a  ALP issue.

      This may affect users on campus connecting to Uniwide in low signal areas, or heavily populated/ high use areas. This may affect users off-campus on personal networks. 

      This may also impact students in the first few minutes of a lecture where many students are connecting simultaenously. However this quickly resolves once the lecture resources are downloaded.

      Network connectivity issues for users on a personal or other non-UNSW network are outside the control of UNSW. We recommend testing your network connectivity ahead of time, and if required use the UNSW network.

      If on-campus but not in the venue, we recommend students move to an area with better network connectivity.

      If on-campus in a venue using ALP, we recommend waiting a couple of minutes for the initial peak to pass. If this still occurs we recommend students update the instructor so they can investigate other options, such as changing rooms.

       

       

      To assist on-campus connectivity for all users and services, UNSW continually improves Uniwide infrastructure and network standards across the campus.

      Over time we expect these issues to be minimised due to network improvements at UNSW, as well as streaming improvements by the Echo360 company.

      Prior to ALP launch in 2017S2, we plan to create and share a table that identifies how suitable each venue is for wireless connectivity and ALP usage.

      Powerpoint alignment issue:

      When importing powerpoints, objects don't always align correctly or objects that were layered overtop of others appear behind after being uploaded to ALP. This can result in text being hidden, or other anomalies.

      We recommend that you test your powerpoint ahead of time, and if issues are experienced we recommend that you reduce your use of the more complex functionality. You may also wish to convert some of your powerpoint slides to images to improve the upload process.

      17/10/2017 Echo360 are continually improving this area.

      Resolved Issues

      Issue Workaround Date Updated Status

      AMX controller mute issue.

      AMX controller mutes audio and/or video by default for some recordings in a few venues.

      IT AV are manually monitoring venues to rectify the issue when it occurs. If this issue is experienced please raise a ticket with the IT Service Centre.   Echo have released a fix to this issue.

      Pingone error when directly logging into echo360.

      When directly signing into echo360 the log in will occasionally fail, giving a "pingone" error.

      Access echo360 through Moodle.   This has been corrected by the Echo360 company.
      Random scheduled recording captures may not be publishing to its appropriate course/section

      Some schedules do not have appropriate course/section details required for them to display correctly in their corresponding courses.
      Echo360 has released a fix to ensure future recordings will not be affected. A small percentage of previous recordings may still be affected. ETS to arrange for these to be manually published.    Echo have released a fix to this issue. Case #44253.

      Confusion flag issue:

      Students in a lecture have the ability to flag something as confusing. This is currently not shown to the lecturer in class, and is only visible three-four minutes later.

      We recommend advising that students follow other processes to report confusion within realtime, such as raising their hand in lecture, or using the Q&A functionality.

      Note the first may be troublesome if live streaming is being enabled, as distant students may not hear their question in the microphone. However a lecturer can reiterate the question prior to answering it.

      Note it can be hard for the lecturer to keep on top of the Q&A functionality in a lecture if they are not used to using it.

        This has been corrected by the Echo360 company.

      Multiple choice questions with more than one correct answer, does not display any correct answers to students.

      Multiple choice questions with one correct answer is not affected, this is shown to students.

      We recommend avoiding multiple choice questions with multiple correct answers, or where this is unavoidable, advise students verbally or via a slide which answers are correct.   This has been corrected by the Echo360 company.

      Powerpoint plugin - image refresh issue:

      When delivering a lecture via the Echo360 ALP powerpoint plugin, image questions do not automatically refresh.

      No work-arounds exist.   Echo360 released a new powerpoint plugin, and this is believed to be resolved. UNSW are currently testing this to confirm.

      Powerpoint plugin - question scaling issue:

      When delivering a lecture via the Echo360 ALP powerpoint plugin, questions do not scale correctly.

      No work-arounds exist.   Echo360 released a new powerpoint plugin, and this is believed to be resolved. UNSW are currently testing this to confirm.
