The learning curve may be a bit steep when starting out. We want to make your LearnHub life as easy as possible and reduce the learning curve for future users.

If you are having trouble with something just post it here in this discussion or create one of your own and I will help you out.

Hi Lechuck

can we import youtube videos Steve

lechuck said:

You can’t currently import videos straight from YouTube though you can use online downloaders such as Convert Direct to download them to your desktop them upload them to LearnHub.

lechuck said:

Another good one is Vixy

Peter Blomert said:

It seems as if – at the moment – the lesson editor uses textile, but filters html code or javascript code. That behaviour results in the impossibility to use html to create sophisticated layouts and the impossibility to embed e.g. youtube-videos via “embed” and “object”. As the preview of the lesson renders all those html codes quite well I wonder if this restrictive filtering is an inevitable necessity? So,: please try to get rid of this filtering behaviour.

lechuck said in response to:

We’re currently working out the best plan to embed YouTube (and other media) into lessons. I will make sure it’s well known when it’s working.

I would like to be able to change my settings for email notification, etc.

RLLillis said:

I didn’t put tags for the first couple of communities I created, I think… but when I edit community I don’t see the opportunity to add or edit tags… Am I missing something?

...Okay… so maybe the communities don’t have tags… why don’t they? I think that would make them easier to find with the search feature…

nelliemuller said:

I would like to invite people to join my WebQuest course but the course only appears in my workspace and nowhere else as far as I can see. I would also like to add to the curriculum but the only option is edit and there is nothing to edit since I haven’t been able to add anything. In addition, I invited a friend and got an email notification that she befriended me but I can’t find her. Finally, I would like to get notifications when someone adds to the discussions in my community.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

lechuck said in response to:

An upgrade to community search and community tags is on its way! I will make sure to inform you when it’s implemented!

lechuck said in response to:

Hi Nellie, You can invite people to your course through the course editor, that is also where you add course content (lessons, videos, tests, presentations). You can also publish a course to as many communities as you like, you only have to be a member, it will then show up in that communities martketplace. This is also found within the course editor.

Where does the link within the e-mail take you when you view your friends e-mail notification?

We don’t want to flood people with too many e-mail notifications, discussions can lead to plenty of notification e-mails that can fill up your inbox. We are planning to have the ability to edit what e-mail notifications you get, so if you really wish to add it, you will be able to. This should be very soon.

Cheers!

The first thing that I thought was overwhelming was the fact the some pages are laid out in a three column design. First thing I thought of was bad layout conventions by Andy Rutledge.

I have a hard time to get some clients to use BaseCamp because they find even just two columns overwhelming, so three column is just yahoo splash mania.

I was really confused to see that when you create lessons that the area of context (where you write) was on the right instead of the left.

The web-site no doubt looks beautiful. It visually communicates really well. I think there is more work needed in visually organizing the web-site.

Really great work, looks like the Savvica team put a-lot hard work into this web-app.

mary_graham said:

Is there a way to restrict access to a course to by invitation only?

lechuck said in response to:

At the moment, no, but we plan to incorporate that feature in the coming weeks as we see it an important aspect of courses.

I would like to add additional lessons but when I attempt to do so the page editor is not engaging. Everytime I click ‘new page’ it takes me to me existing lesson. Am I doing something wrong? HELP!!

hcraig said in response to:

Don’t worry, it’s not you, it’s a little bug in the system. The good news is our development team is working on it as we speak and will have everything up and running shortly.

wmoxam said in response to:

The ‘New Page’ button is fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Peter Blomert said:

Hi, I can’t edit video-lesson anymore, can’t edit the description that is. Changed the description, saved the lesson, got my old lesson, opened the edit-screen again and all changes were gone.

wmoxam said in response to:

It should be working now.

nelliemuller said:

How do I delete or edit a debate or discussion?

Thank you.

lechuck said in response to:

Unfortunately, you can only edit a debate or discussion within the creation time frame, which is about 5 mins. After that time frame has passed, you can not edit your post. We are considering fixing this and allowing users to edit their comments unless someone has quoted a post like I have done here.

As for deleting, you can’t at the moment. This is also another thing we are considering in a future deployment. For now, if you need a discussion deleted, you can support@learnhub.com and I will delete it for you.

It turns out thatmy e-mail is “unverified” or something like that, though i do receive the mail warnings when there are updates i’m tracking… How do i get my mail verified?

misnomer17 said:

My question relates to the textile editing option in creating a lesson page. I do not see that option. As it appears when I create a new page, I only see Rich Text Editor. Is this a temporary bug? Thanks :)

Peter Blomert said:

There is no bug, you have to choose the textile-editor or “pro-editor” in your workspace on your account-page. You will find the option to switch right on the main section. If you have any difficulties to find the option, have a look here.

misnomer17 said:

Found it. Thanks!

Go to your email preferences (http://learnhub.com/user/account/email_addresses) and there is a link to resend the confirmation email. If you are not receiving the confirmation email in your inbox, then it might have been directed to your junk mail folder.

alexpoole said:

I am still having difficulty uploading a video for a lesson – it keeps telling me there is an error (it’s a wmv file). LeChuck did say it would still work, but it’s not.

Also is it possible to upload audio?

I have things in both mp3 and saved with audio acrobat (which let’s me genrate html code) but can not find anywhere in a lesson to upload it.

Thirdly when I try and use the code i.e Lead Britain to Wellness it is not working in my lesson, it’s just showing the code.

Thanks for your help in advance. Alex

Vahid said in response to:

Sorry, but i can’t find the link to have the confirmation resent… please advise. Also, there seems to be some sort of bug that won’t let me pick Wysiwig editing. It keeps switching back to the other option when i try to save my preferences. Thanks

Mohammad said:

Hello,

When I publish a test, I see a button called “add another question”. However after I publish the test, I don’t see that button any more !!!! so I am not able to add any more questions to the test !!!! Whats the problem !?? Thanks for the help in advance !!

lechuck said in response to:

Once a test is published, the system begins to track the tests statistics. So adding another question is impossible as it would throw off all the statistics. Make sure your test is fully complete when publishing. I suggest creating a new test and removing the old one.

I hope that helps.

How can I get into a Webclass (flex) for Mathematics 31 right away. And will I be able to receive proper credits as if I had done the course in an actual classroom upon completion. I need it to get into University.

Poshmonkey said:

I don’t know whether I just didn’t see it but can someone explain a bit in more detail how the allocation of authority marks is managed? I created tests but in my community MannersAndCareer it doesn’t show up as if this would be the case. I also invited new users (outside of Learnhub) to join my community, also this results in zero. Does it only count if the person subscribes?

Furthermore, I have problems of seeing some of my most recent Lessons (created as pages) on my community website, I see them only on my profile page. Therefore, I think that my members wouldn’t even notice them. Can I do something about it? I noticed if I would create it as a PowerPoint Presentation it would show up.

Thanks for some help.

mawstools said:

I’m trying to post several new lessons and I’ve got a very strange input screen that doesn’t allow me to use the rich text editor. Nor can I access the publishing function to make them available to my course or other communities… Left a message for Adam. No reply… I need to get a couple of these working today. Anyone know what’s going on?

Poshmonkey said in response to:

Hi Meri!

I experienced exactly the same since some days to be honest and thought it just happened to me! My lessons also don’t show up on my community website and furthermore it shows my text twice (in the frame and outside the frame). I was thinking of presenting them as PowerPoint files but that is quite time consuming…... I also contacted the support@Learnhub.com as well as Adam but unfortunately I’m also still waiting. I’m sure the problem will be sorted out soon.

mawstools said:

Thanks for taking time to post, Karin!! At least I know I’m not the only one…I’ve left messages in inboxes and here and elsewhere…I’ll be away for the next couple of days, so hopefully things will be straightened out soon…

oLahav said:

Hello mawstool and poshmonkey, as well as any other users who have been experiencing similar difficulties.

Adam is away at the moment, but he will be back Monday to address all of your concerns. As well, we are looking at the problem now and it should be fixed very shortly.

Have a great day.

It looks like some stuff we added for the new question bank is royally messing up Internet Explorer. Aside from the fact that Internet Explorer is a horrible browser, this is totally not cool and I’m going to fix it as soon as possible. I apologize for the inconvenience everyone.

In the meantime I strongly urge people to upgrade to a modern, standards-friendly web browser here are some excellent choices:

• Mozilla Firefox
• Opera
• Apple Safari

In addition to being technologically superior to Internet Explorer, the above choices also offer enhanced performance, excellent features and are all totally free.

Poshmonkey said:

Thanks Carsten.

lechuck said:

Once you publish something (page, video, presentation, test, etc.) to a community, you should give it about 5 to 10 minutes to allow the community to refresh and show the new content. This delay allows your content to be stored in the database and allows the community to load a lot faster for everybody.

If you’re looking for your lesson on the main community page, the lesson widget only lists the top 7 lessons published to that community. You will need to click the Lessons tab to see all the lessons :)

lechuck said:

By the way, the delay also affects the activity feed on the homepage, profiles, and communities. It is updated once every 5 minutes as well.

xtab said in response to:

I am having a frustrating problem with the Text Editors. No matter whether I opt for the RTF or Textile versions, when I come to create a new lesson I only get a blank input box, at the top left of which are the save and cancel buttons.

However, All the editing menu items have gone. :-{ So all I can enter is totally unformated, unpunctuated text.

Is this an IE related problem too?

(I even went to a friend’s house to use his PC and his internet connection to ensure that it wasn’t some glitch on mine only).

I’m just about to give up on LearnHub, as it’s driving me nuts.

lechuck said in response to:

When you switch between the RTF and the Textile editor, you must create a new lesson in order to see the changes.

For example, if I create a lesson page using the Textile Editor, it will always remain a textile lesson. If I change my settings to RTF, any lessons I create will be a RTF but the previous lessons I created will remain a textile lesson.

I am guessing you created a textile lessons, switched to RTF and it remains textile. Create a new lesson with the RTF selected and you will have all the formatting options available.

Try that out and get back to me! :)

I have been trying to upload a video (.avi) and an audio (mp3) and I get a message saying it was successfully uploaded but when I give it some time to process all I get is a message on the video stating “This video has been suspended” Does anyone has the same problem and /or have a solution to the problem? I would be greatly appreciated…..

lechuck said in response to:

Hi Nancy,

This issue is currently being resolved and should work by the weekend.

Ged Mead said:

Hi Adam

'Fraid not.   I've tried every combination of new lessons, new courses, avoided switching editors half way as you describe above.

Did I already mention that I logged in from different PCs in my house and when this didnt resolve it, then even drove to a friend's house and logged in from there.

In the end I've created a new user account under a different name, set the editor to textile and I can get the menu.   I guess something has fouled up my original account settings .

It's a nuisance as I've created communities under my original account name and I'll have to try and  transfer them to the new account.

Ho hum

lechuck said:

Ged, there is no formatting menu in the Textile editor, that is all HTML driven. The formatting menu is in the Rich Text Editor.

Maybe that is the problem?
