1. How do I alphabetize items in my LiveText reviews so it is easier to grade and /or post grades?

When you are in reviews, simply click on the column titled FROM, and all items in that label will be alphabetized by last name.

2. How can I delete items that have been sent to me for review?

Because you are not the author of the documents you sent for review, you can not delete them.  The best thing to do is to make a folder called TRASH, and place all unwanted items in there.  Follow the directions for making files below.

3. How do I file the items that have been sent to me for review?

Before you choose to file any items from the Reviews, you need to have appropriate labels to hold the filed items. To create labels, click on the edit labels link on top of the Reviews page. Follow the screens to create labels (similar to folders to hold items you specify).
If you have labels created and would like to file specific review items into those labels, check the review items by clicking the check box on the right of the item. At the bottom of the reviews page, there is a ‘choose label’ drop down box next to the heading “File checked items under”. Use the drop down box to select the appropriate label. Then click the link [File] to move the items. LiveText takes you to that file and shows you that the items are in that file now.

5. How can I print only particular sections of my student's portfolio, like their essay?

To print just a section of your student’s portfolio or document:

  1. Go to your Reviews page
  2. Corresponding to the student's portfolio, click the view link. This link will appear if you have already reviewed the document before. If there is only a review link, click that instead. This will open the student’s document.
  3. Click Print... link on right top corner of the portfolio.
    [You may have to override a pop-up blocker]
  4. A print window opens up. On the right top corner of that window, there is a link Options. Click that.
  5. A list of all pages and sections appears with check boxes to the left. Check the box(es) corresponding to the section(s) you want to print.
    [For example, to print the student's final reflective essay, you need to check only one box – corresponding to "student work" under the final reflective essay title. You may have to scroll in the options window to get to the section you want to print.]
  6. Click on Apply Settings link at the bottom of the page. You may have to scroll down to the very bottom of that window.
  7. Click the "Print" link on right top of the options window to print the page.

6. Why doesn't my Assessment window show up? OR Tips on disabling the pop-up blocker on your computer:

The Assessment window does not show up because you probably have a pop-up blocker software running on your computer. This prevents the window from displaying correctly. There are two ways of solving this problem:

  1. You can temporarily override the pop-up blocker software so that you can proceed with your assessments. Holding down the CTRL key on your keyboard, click on the link to pull up the assessment ("assess" or the rubric link). You may have to click the link 2-3 times before you can get the window.
     

  2. You can permanently disable the pop-up blocker for just LiveText web-pages. Click on the pop-up blocker icon on your web browser, and look for an option like "always allow pop-ups from..". Select the LiveText website from the list and click the corresponding button, like "add" or "allow".
