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:
-
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.
-
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.
