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 |
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. |

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. |

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. |

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" |
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. | |

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 #: |
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. |

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. |
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. |

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.

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 |

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. |

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.

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. |

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. | |
