I maintain a personal website and within my domain is a folder called Physical Geology in which I have uploaded many webpages with illustrated tutorials and tips for my students.
This external site allows me to supply my students with additional help that does not require lots of space in D2L News or Discussion areas because all I need to do is provide a document name and a link.
Here is something I did today. It makes use of both my new D2L Discussion "Alerts!" Forum and my personal website.
I posted another Tip. It concerns the Word Copy/Paste Icon under the Discussion Compose Message Advanced Tab.
A lot of students were copy/pasting discussions they had created in Ms Word and they were doing so "directly", without using the Copy/Paste feature.
Unfortunately the integrity of their original Word document was not maintained and so fonts and spacing were askew. Those students meticulous about the appearance of their post were spending a lot of time trying to correct the appearance, often to no avail.
I am hoping this tip will save them time and a lot of trouble when copying their posts from Word.
This is the lead-in that I wrote in the Discussion Alerts Forum:
Tip: Do you copy/paste your Discussion Posts from MS Word? To maintain the fonts, spacing and the overall integrity of your document, try this! See: Word Copy/Pastes for Discussions (opens in a new window) [http://www.geolor.com/PhysicalGeology/Copy-Paste_from_Word_Tip.htm]
