You may be registered in an EvCC section

Possible Solution

Check your EvCC enrollment section information


Problem

I have been 'bumped' off the internet while taking an exam

Probable Cause

There are several things that can cause this to happen. Many times, this is caused by coflicts between ANGEL and unsupported browsers.

Possible Solution

  1. Ask your instructor to re-set the exam for you. Only your instructor will be able to do this.
  2. Contact the eLearning office with the specifics of what occurred and what can be done to prevent this from happening again.

Problem

I cannot post or read any posts in the discussion board.

Probable Cause

This is a known issue with Internet Explorer 10.

Possible Solution

Enable the compatability view in  IE10

  1. Open the Web page you are trying to view.
  2. Click on the broken page icon typically located to the right of the address bar.

Note: Clicking this button will refresh the page. It is important not to do this on a page that may be sensitive to the refresh feature.

To add the web page to a list of permanent exceptions, meaning that the page would open in compatibility view automatically upon visiting the page, do the following:

  1. Click on the Tools menu in Internet Explorer.
  2. Click Compatibility View Settings.
    Add an address into the Add this website field
  3. Click Add
  4. Click Close

Note: The use of Internet Explorer 10 with ANGEL is currently discouraged. The use of this compatibility view might not solve every compatibility issue and only serves as a temporary workaround.

Download FireFox and use this browser with ANGEL.

  1. Go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html 
  2. Follow the directions for downloading.

Problem

I do not see my own posts on the discssion board.

Probable Cause

In ANGEL, if you select a Discussion Forum from the left hand side of the page, you may not be able to read your own posts – or posts you have previously read in ANGEL.

When accessing the discussion board from the left hand menu, the default setting for the discussion is set to search for unread posts only.

Possible Solution

If you want to view all posts, you need to:

1. Change the search type to All Posts from the View: dropdown and click Search

Or

2. You can access the discussion via the Lessons Tab (may be named different depending on the course) from the top of the page
