Thanks all,
The big problem right now is I can't do anything - LON-CAPA won't let me
upload any files even though I've deleted files but no matter what I do
I get the same message. I've tried reinitializing, logging out and
logging back in and nothing works.
Copying Stuart, who hopefully can help me here. I can post the videos
elsewhere, but it would be really helpful to be able to post other
material on D2L.
Ok... I need this right now (and the glass of wine mentioned in the
song)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCe5PaeAeew. "I will survive"
Thanks,
Susan

The quick answer is that course quotas were implemented a number of years ago.
A course generally does not contain a lot of stuff. Typically the largest
consumer of
space might be pdfs of powerpoints. Web pages and problems do not take up much
memory.
Whoever is domain coordinator at MSU can bump up quotas on courses, but you’ll
need to figure out how much room there really is.
If a video is simply uploaded into a course, and the course is cloned, then the
video
will be replicated taking up twice as much space (and may even live on if it is
deleted
from the cloned course, at least in the cloned course).
If possible, it might be more efficient (though more steps) to publish the
video and
then link to the video. That way there is only one version stored and it is
simply
linked in.
We’re probably going to post most videos external to LC and link to them.
Again, check with the domain coordinator.

Hi all,
I'm having the same problems. I just deleted the file I uploaded yesterday but
LON-CAPA still says that I've exceeded the capacity by 333%. I have no idea
what to do at this point.
Suggestions?

Hi Susan. I’ve recorded several lectures using zoom. Can you advise me as to
how to upload them onto LON CAPA? I’ve done so by uploading them as zip files
but then I have run out of disk space. I’m doing something wrong. Please help.

Subject: Re: [LON-CAPA-users] LON-CAPA and the push towards online
Hi all,
We officially went online on Wednesday (announced at 10 am to go online at noon
on the same day). Luckily because of my age and underlying pulmonary issues, I
had already gotten permission to go online the previous Monday. That gave me
time to think about how to accomplish the switch and notify students before
they returned to campus after Spring Break.
The biggest changes for me are:
• giving lectures via Zoom, which I record and then post on LON-CAPA
(works then for both those who can/wish to be online during class time and
those who can't/don't wish to)
• eliminating exams 2 and 3 and making the homework for the second half
of the course worth 20% of their grade
• reducing my expectations on the project and eliminating the in-person
presentations during the final exam and increasing the worth of the project
• doing participation exercises online through LON-CAPA, but giving
them more time and making it (at least initially) more supportive than anything
else. (This weekend's question was what I can do as your instructor or as
associate chair for UG studies to help you in this challenging time).
• listing online videos of course-related academic seminars for the
extra credit assignment. (Colleagues on Twitter have been awesome at providing
me with links to videos). These replace the on-campus seminars.
The students are shell-shocked, so my recommendation is be patient with them,
reduce your expectations - things will not be the same, and just do what you
can't. Don't worry that things will not be perfect. Don't edit videos (it's a
waste of your time).
And remember to take care of yourselves,
All the best,
Susan

Hi,
face-to-face teaching stopped on Friday at my University up until mid of April.
Since I use LON-CAPA to implement Just-in-Time-Teaching I do not feel really
challenged by the current situation. Business in LON-CAPA will continue as
usual. I will replace class time either screencasts or Adobe Connect sessions.
I discussed that on Friday in one of my classes after the the message of
university shutdown had arrived. Also to my students my plan seems to
be the most reasonable.

I’m guessing everyone is in the same boat to some degree or another.
Here at Ohio University we have suspended face-to-face classes through
the end of the semester and are scrambling to go fully remote.
The good thing is that for those of us already using LON-CAPA, the transition
is a little easier, but I know that I personally have a bit of work to pull
together
extra resources to help support the students better.
I would be curious to hear how people are adapting and perhaps using LON-CAPA
in ways they have not before. As well, this would be a great venue for people
who have questions about ways to stretch their use of the system.
I know on our end we are scrambling to decide how we will use LON-CAPA
for examination with the knowledge that their may need to be some
give and take on proctoring in the immediate future.
How goes it for everyone else?
