1. Can I hyperlink my documents within LiveText?

Yes, you can!  Follow these steps:

  1. Open the document in which you want to place your your old LiveText items. Click the edit link corresponding to the section where you wish to place the reusable content. You are now in the "edit" mode.

  2. When you are in the editing page that looks like a Word Document, you will see a toolbar directly above the space provided for you to type in.  This toolbar gives the options to right align, left align, etc.  There is a button for hyperlinks outside of LiveText, and next to it is a button (icon) to insert a LiveText link. Click on that button.

  3. In the window that pops up, locate the document you wish to reuse. It can be a project, lesson plan, portfolio, etc. you have created before. Place a check mark in the box corresponding to that item.

  4. Click on the link add checked at the top of that window.  The name of the item will show up in the area where you would type for your word document. 

  5. Click [Save], and continue on in your LiveText account as you would normally.

2. How do I redo and resubmit a particular assignment after reviewing the comments by my instructor?

To redo an assignment or make any changes to it, you just need to browse to that assignment in your LiveText account, and click the edit link to get to the Word-like editing page. Then make the necessary changes and hit [Save section] button, and then the finish link. Now you have made the changes in your assignment, but the instructor still has the old copy. So you need to resend the assignment to your instructor. There are two ways to resubmit your work:

  1. Use the standard “Share” process you perform to submit your work, OR

  2. Use the “resend” option. For this, click on My Desk. Under the ‘Collaborations’ heading on the left, click the Reviews link, to get to your reviews page. Under ‘Sent for review’, locate the assignment you were required to redo. To the right of it, there are links ‘view’ and ‘resend’. Click the resend link. You are done.

3. I know how to share my portfolio with my instructor. But, how do I share my lesson plans and projects?

The sharing process in LiveText is similar, regardless of if it is a project or lesson plan or portfolio etc. From your My Desk area, click on the project you need to share. When in that document, click the Share link on top and lookup your instructor as a reviewer/assessor.

4. There are a lot of options under templates in my LiveText account for different classes. Will I use all these before graduation?

No, you will not use all the templates for before graduating. Your instructor will inform you about the template to use for the assignments in his/her class. Apart from those class-specific and program specific templates, you are not required to use any other templates. For example, if there is a template for ART 2053, you would not use it unless you took that particular class.

5. When do you renew your LiveText subscription and how?

The LiveText membership you have purchased is good for four years since the day you activated it. However, at this point you do NOT have to renew your LiveText membership. LiveText has not turned anybody "off" yet, and your account is alive as long as you use it regularly after the four years.
