Hello!

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I can't access the link from Illustration 2.1 Project 2 via the OU library: Michel Golec essay in Heller, S, The Education of a Graphic Designer. I get "Error: app not enabled for user" 

I'm definitely logged into the OU library and I came straight from the Reading List in the online course unit.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I have just recently enrolled in Graphic Design with OCA. I’ve paid my first deposit and set up instalments, received my email and log in etc. however I’m not sure if this means I’ve paid for my first unit or just my general enrolment in the course? 

When I go into the Graphic Course thing on OCA Learn and try to click into the materials for Level 1 it pops up saying I can’t enrol myself in it and need to enrol first. 

I have searched and searched and cannot for the life of me find how to enrol in the unit anywhere. 

Would appreciate some advice from someone who has begun their learning.

Hi,

I have a problem with Padlet, which is not showing anything in the dashboard.  I can still see my work on my mobile app, but not on the desktop.  Thinking it might be a problem with the desktop app for Mac, I went to reinstall.  The app is not showing as being available for desktop computers, only iPhone and iPad. 

Any ideas what's happening here?  It appears that I'm not the only student with this issue.

I have been asked to share a reflection on the Music 1.1 Assessment 3 Forum: https://learn.oca.ac.uk/mod/hsuforum/discuss.php?d=4856

I can't see how to add anything.  Am I missing something? I see that no one else has submitted anything either!

I'm looking to download an archive of my entire Spaces site, but exporting all content simply returns the database xml describing all the posts and media, not the actual content itself. I can't see any option to install plugins to download the site as a zip (as many tutorials suggest), so I was wondering if the IT team could export/zip the site internally and send it to my OCA email account?

Good afternoon

It appears, according to the installed Jetpack, that I get no traffic at all to my blog.  Is there something I have turned off by accident that is preventing traffic ?  Appreciate if someone could take a look and help me. 

https://spaces.oca.ac.uk/bustonillos/

I have been to Settings>Reading and it is set to Allow search engines to index this site

Regards


Mick

When I first created my OCA spaces blog template I think I chose the wrong template because I only have 6 units and assignments while my course has 10. Can I change my template after I have completed my blog?

Hi, I'm preparing the learning log links for assessment and have printed the individual links onto a word document. However, when I click on the links, they are showing as website/address not recognised? I have tried adding/removing the 'www' before the spaces.oca.ac.ukaddresshere to no avail. Is this because you have to be logged into the Spaces platform to be able to access please? I'm worried that the assessors will not be able to view my work. Thanks

Wordpress Grid Layout

Stephen Highfield

Can someone please tell me how I can display all my posts on each catagory page in grid layout with thumbnail and preview text, rather than the default list option. I think list of posts are asthetically ugly and I would rather someone land on my learning log and see all available posts with header pictures rather than having to scroll down to find each post.


Ive looked through the entire theme settings and just cannot find the option, maybe I need to change themes?

Any help appreciated https://spaces.oca.ac.uk/leejameswebb

Hi,
I am unable to add my Text and Image to this Gallery as it says the maximum number of items have been added. I'm not the first to have encountered this problem.
https://learn.oca.ac.uk/mod/mediagallery/view.php?id=13547

Could someone from Tech edit the Gallery so that more images can be added? It is part of the Groupwork on my course.
Many thanks.

Can someone from tech answer this query about google calendar please.

When I use my google calendar to plan and organise my work it appears that it also becomes available on other google calendars in the photography section for example the tutor led events. Please tell me that if i add something to my own google calendar it is not visible to everyone on the course?

My tutor assures me his end has my progress correct, however my side has lost it. 

I’m not losing sleep over it or anything, just a bit of an anomaly.

I’ve just submitted part 4…

Hi,

A couple of friends are interested in my learning log and have subscribed to the blog using the subscribe2 plugin which is active by default. However, they don't seem to have received a "confirm subscription" email, nor are they getting notifications about new posts. 

I assume I'm doing something wrong, but any idea what?

Thanks, kind regards,

sb

Hi all, following recent changes to the assignment submission process, I have been asked by my tutor to complete my comments on our recent feedback session using the “official feedback form”, but I cannot find this anywhere in OCA Learn. Does anybody have any ideas where to find this? Many thanks in advance.

Dear Stephen,

Thank you for replying, I am referring to my study notes, not my assignment. She wants to have access to the notes I write down while studying. I will attach the message she sent me, for you to know what am referring to. Thanks.
