CLT Student Guide :: Post assignments in your LiveText account

Instructions to post assignments in your LiveText account:

1.      Go to LiveText website: http://www.livetext.com/. Type your username and password in the column on your left. Click the [Login] button to enter your LiveText account.

 

2.      You are currently in the My Work folder. You have two options to start posting your assignment:

  1. If you have not created the document to post the assignment in, you need to create it first. Follow 'Create documents' directions. Make sure you know the type of document (lesson plan, project or portfolio) and the template (specific to your course) before you create it.
     

  2. If you have already created the container document before, it should appear in the document listing. Click on the document name to get into it.

3.      You are now in your LiveText document. You need to locate the page or section where you are to post the assignment, If it is a portfolio or project, use the links on your left to get to the desired page and section. If it is a lesson plan, scroll to the section. If you are not sure where to post the assignment, look at the directions given by your instructor or ask him/her.

 

4.   Once you are at that section, click the Edit link to the far right of the section's colored bar. This opens an editor window.

 

5.      Now you are in the content area where you will post your assignment content. There are three ways to do so:

a.   Type your assignment in the text area provided, using the buttons similar to Microsoft Word for formatting as you type.
NOTE: You must SAVE your work often using the [Save] button at the bottom of the editor window.
NOTE: This is the most preferred way to enter text in LiveText. You are advised to use this method, unless you have to attach a document in another format like Excel, PowerPoint or others.

b.   Open Microsoft Word or any other text tool and type your assignment. Save the work as a file on your local computer. Select all the text in the document you saved and hit copy. Come back to your LiveText window and hit the paste (clipboard icon) button on the formatting toolbar above the text area.

c.   If you have already created and saved your assignment using some text tool, you can attach it. To do so, click the Edit attachments link below the text area. Follow these three steps:

                                                   i.      Browse for the file on your local computer.

                                                 ii.      Click the [Attach] button. You may have to wait a while for the attaching to proceed. The attached document is now listed in step 2. Verify that it is the correct file you wanted to attach. If not, you can click the remove link next to the unwanted file.

                                                iii.      Be sure to click the [Finish] button to complete the process. The attachments get listed below the text area in the main window.

 

6.      Hit [Save] button at the bottom of the editor window to save your work, and then the [Finish] button at the right-top corner of the page.

 

7.      Now you will be directed to the page where you just posted your assignment. Please verify that your content got posted correctly.

 

8.      You are now able to move around LiveText.  If you need to send the item for review to your instructor, go to the section under Student Guide that explains how to share items for review.  If you are going to work on the item later, or you are just planning on saving the item in LiveText, you can log out of LiveText and come back to the item later.

 

NOTE: Your assignment in LiveText will not be submitted to your instructor by just saving and posting the content. You need to go through the steps to share the assignment with your instructor.
