4. Moving in…

5. Top 4 queries...
1. My forum link to OTEN online is broken. How do I update it?
Answer: Ignore it.
2. My assessment tips are missing. Answer: Go to: add/edit
student content > Unit LA > select unit LA > publish the
Assessment information page.
3. I see extra content on my course/unit pages that isn’t on
the current OLS. Answer: Just delete or hide. (All content
that had ‘published’ status was migrated.)
4. Some links in my course/unit pages send me to the logon
page. Tip: No need to re-login. Use the ‘back’ browser
arrow. (Such links are usually to OLS pages that no longer
exist.)

6. 5 things to do...
1. Update information that refers to the old OLS. Tip: Consider
removing it. Refer students to guides already in the Course
overview area.
2. Check if your content has migrated across. Tip: Compare
against the old OLS.
3. Avoid long scrolling. Tip: Consider consolidating text based
content into word and pdf for students to download or read
using their e-reader apps.
4. Make sure that the Additional tab at Course level is
‘published’.
5. Check that your content is responsive. Tip: Do the 1/3, 2/3
screen resize check.

7. Do the responsive design check.
• Resize your screen 1/3, 2/3.
Is your content responding?
• Yes? Good.
