Blackboard distance instruction

I am teaching with Blackboard Academic Suite, not the CE net that most universities use. I purchased IPAD so that I could answer messages and reset locked tests while away from my computer. IPAD has no problem allowing me to respond to messages. The problem I have is that when the grade book loads, it will not scroll left to right or right to left or up and down so that I can locate the frozen assignment, and release it. I tried this on someone's Iphone and it worked so I bought the IPAD. Essentially the gradebook is a spreadsheet if that helps.

Hey there SSaccio,
I'm having a little trouble determining exactly which system is yours. The site everymac.com has a list of all standard mac products and I don't see a 2.4 G5. So the info I'm going to give you is based on the 2.3 G5 duo.
This model ( http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg5/stats/powermac_g5_2.3dp.html )
Has the ATI Radeon 9600 with 128 MB of DDR SDRAM occupies an 8X AGP Pro slot. Dual monitoring is supported with this card up to 1920x1200. So you might be good to go with what you have already. If you know that you don't have this card, then let me know what you have and I might be able to suggest something else.
BTW
Graphics cards for Mac have a different card BIOS (or firmware, whatever it's called) than the PC versions. Therefore, you can't use a PC card in a Mac and viceversa, without reflashing it.
Nvidia, unlike ATI, does not sell their Mac cards as retail cards.
So if you don't have the ATI Radeon 9600 card then that's what you wanna get. It runs about $150-200
Cheers

  • Tons of ieq/add/or instructions for array indexing in pixel shader loop (D3D 11.0, PS model 5.0)

    First of all, I have to apologize for the long code samples, but their content is not so important, I just wanted to give as much info as I can. Besides they are really simple and I tried to comment as much as possible.
    I'm working on a pixel shader doing deferred lighting of the frame (Direct3D feature level 11.0, PS
    model 5.0, IDE - Visual Studio 2013, OS - Windows 8.1 x64). I noticed some huge FPS drops when I add light sources to the scene, and the more sources I add, the bigger performance impact is. After many hours
    of trying to find the problem, experimenting and checking compiled pixel shader ASM's, I found out that at some moment after I comment / uncomment some lines (or event line) my output ASM changes dramatically. I won't put here all the code, of course, but
    here's simplified part of the point lighting in HLSL, so you could imagine the structure of the lighting algorithm:
    // Total amount of color that pixel receives from all the point light sources.
    float3 totalPointLightColor = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f };
    // Loop through the active light sources.
    [loop] for (uint i = 0; i < g_scene.pointLightCount; i++)
    // xyz - vector from light source to pixel.
    // w - the length of that vector.
    float4 fromLightToPixel;
    fromLightToPixel.xyz = worldPos - g_pointLights[i].position.xyz;
    fromLightToPixel.w = length(fromLightToPixel.xyz);
    // Check max light distance here (skip pixel if it is too far).
    if (fromLightToPixel.w > g_pointLights[i].farZ)
    continue;
    // Normalize direction vector.
    fromLightToPixel.xyz = normalize(fromLightToPixel.xyz);
    // Angle between the pixel normal and light direction.
    float lightIntensity = saturate(dot(normal, -fromLightToPixel.xyz));
    // Check that light comes not from behind of the pixel surface.
    if (lightIntensity <= 0.0f)
    continue;
    // If light casts shadows, process shadow map and get amount of light the pixel receives.
    // THIS LINE IS MENTIONED IN MY QUESTION BELOW.
    if (g_pointLights[i].shadowMapIndex >= 0)
    // Here was shadow map check, but I removed it and nothing really changed - the problem remained even with no code here.
    // Calculate the amount of light at the pixel from distance and angle and modify intensity.
    lightIntensity *= g_pointLights[i].brightness / (fromLightToPixel.w * fromLightToPixel.w);
    // Add this light's color to the total amount of light the pixel receives from point lights.
    totalPointLightColor += lightIntensity * g_pointLights[i].color.rgb;
    I compile shaders with D3DCompileFromFile() method, using the following flags:
    shaderFlags = D3DCOMPILE_ENABLE_STRICTNESS | D3DCOMPILE_DEBUG
    | D3DCOMPILE_SKIP_OPTIMIZATION | D3DCOMPILE_PREFER_FLOW_CONTROL;
    I tried to compile in release config with the following flags:
    shaderFlags = D3DCOMPILE_ENABLE_STRICTNESS | D3DCOMPILE_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL3;
    But nothing seriously changes - only a couple less ASM instructions here and there, the main problem still remained. I should add that I have zero to none knowledge of ASM, and understand what's happening mostly thanks to comments Visual Studio / FXC generates
    in debug compilation mode.
    So, when I compile my whole deferred shader (including the part above), I get
    414 instructions in ASM, and performance is fine. If I uncomment only 1 line with CAPSED comment in the section above (which actually does nothing, as you can see), I get
    476 instructions, and I get huge FPS hiccups. When I check output ASM code, I can clearly see, that the line I uncommented produces no code in ASM at all, but somehow it makes many parts of compiled shader to change.
    For example, the loop above with commented line looks like the following in ASM:
    # Loop starts.
    loop
    # Loop index check and increment, as I can understand.
    uge r6.w, r5.w, cb0[1].x
    breakc_nz r6.w
    imul null, r6.w, r5.w, l(3)
    # Calculate <fromLightToPixel>.
    # cb6 - constant buffer that stores point lights.
    # Array access is done simply via [] operator.
    add r10.xyz, r3.xyzx, -cb6[r6.w + 1].xyzx
    dp3 r7.w, r10.xyzx, r10.xyzx
    sqrt r8.w, r7.w
    # Distance check.
    lt r8.w, cb6[r6.w + 1].w, r8.w
    if_nz r8.w
    iadd r8.w, r5.w, l(1)
    mov r5.w, r8.w
    continue
    endif
    # Normalization.
    rsq r8.w, r7.w
    mul r10.xyz, r8.wwww, r10.xyzx
    # Calculate <lightIntensity>.
    dp3_sat r8.w, r1.xywx, -r10.xyzx
    # Check <lightIntensity>.
    ge r9.w, l(0.000000), r8.w
    if_nz r9.w
    iadd r9.w, r5.w, l(1) // r9.w <- i
    mov r5.w, r9.w // r5.w <- i
    continue
    endif
    # Update <lightIntensity>. Note [] operator.
    div r7.w, cb6[r6.w + 0].w, r7.w
    mul r7.w, r7.w, r8.w
    # etc.
    endloop
    When I
    uncomment that 1 line, the ASM is growing heavily (by 62 instructions!), and this is how it starts to look like:
    # Loop starts.
    loop
    # Loop index check, but no <imul> instruction, why?
    uge r6.w, r5.w, cb0[1].x
    breakc_nz r6.w
    # Here comes some new code...
    # Indices are obviously related to the size of the point lights' constant buffer (16 elements).
    ieq r10.xyzw, r5.wwww, l(0, 1, 2, 3)
    ieq r11.xyzw, r5.wwww, l(4, 5, 6, 7)
    ieq r12.xyzw, r5.wwww, l(8, 9, 10, 11)

    div r6.w, r10.x, r6.w
    mul r6.w, r6.w, r7.w
    # etc.
    endloop
    I tried to save current array element to temp variable at the beginning of the loop, but it makes no difference - only several more instructions are added to copy the data.
    I just can't understand, why in the first case loop is translated into such small and logic code where array access is done via single
    [] operator, but in the second one it expands to such enormous bunch of instructions? And I change only 1 line of code, nothing more (and that line does nothing actually - it even has no ASM representation)! But every array access seems to
    be affected with this change.
    Can someone please explain that to me? Is there some sort of tricks with array indexing or loops in HLSL? I tried to find something about it on the Internet to no avail. Seems like I miss something very simple and obvious, but I don't get it. Sadly I
    work mostly alone by now and know nobody familiar with ASM / HLSL / Direct3D. Answering this question on another popular developer resource brought no result.
    Big thanks in advance for any tips or explanations!

  • Help!! With Firefox's recent updates, I am unable to open the MP4 files I created in Camtasia and uploaded to Blackboard. I teach at St. John Fisher College.

    The college where I work requests that we use Firefox and I am happy to do so. However, in the past few weeks, MP4 files that have worked fine are no longer working because something in Firefox's very recent updates keeps blocking them! I SO wish I had not downloaded your updates.
    At St. John Fisher College we use Blackboard CMS. I created many MP4 instructional video tutorials using Camtasia. Our IT department uploads them to Ensemble, then onto our Blackboard courses. For months the videos worked perfectly in Firefox....but no more.
    At this moment, every time I try to open them, I must click on the shield at the top left of the screen and disable the protectors.
    Dozens of students are required to use these videos. It will be impossible for me to alert them as to the "workaround" that will allow them to watch the tutorials.
    Alas, Firefox, always so sleek and easy to use, has become a burden to me:(

    Can you convert the URLs for the MP4s to use HTTPS instead of HTTP? There are a couple of ways:
    (1) If the URLs are hard-coded in each page, many manual edits.
    (2) If an iframe is inserted by a script, edit the script.
    As resources for students in case this can't be done easily/quickly, there is the Firefox support article, and there is an add-on which can temporarily allow Firefox users to disable mixed content blocking. Unfortunately, that is a global setting, not a site-by-site setting.

    Good job with trying the two-button reset, that would have been my first advice for you.  Next, I suggest you take the reset/update a step further.  This step may risk losing the data on your phone, but since it's not working already, there may be no other solution.
    On your computer, make sure you have internet acces and the latest version of iTunes installed.
    Launch iTunes and connect the iPhone
    Press and hold both sleep/wake and home buttons
    After ten seconds, only release the sleep/wake button.
    If you were successful, the iPhone screen should stay dark and the computer should display a popup. 
    If you see a message saying "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode," then continue by clicking yes to each subsequent popup. 
    If the iPhone displays the silver Apple logo start over with step three of these instructions.

  • SCORM and Blackboard 6

    Hello everyone,
    While Captivate 3 appears to be robust in its SCORM
    capabilities, I have tried and failed after long hours to implement
    a Captivate 3 assessment simulation in a Blackboard CE 6 course. I
    have been through the technotes, and tried many of the fixes, even
    changing a lower case "l" to a capital "L" in the word
    "schemaLocation" in an XML file as instructed by one technote. I
    have run the gamut.
    As a result, I can import a Captivate 3 SCORM package into
    Blackboard CE6 (Campus Edition 6), so it will be recognized, but
    Blackboard CE6 will not report the user's scores-- the main reason
    for importing the package in the first place. The SCORM package
    should instruct CE6 to create a grading column and report scores,
    but it just does not happen.
    I have also communicated with the Blackboard community on
    this and some of their "gurus" have thrown their hands up in
    frustration. I refer to this discussion thread at Blackboard:
    http://discussions.blackboard.com/jive4/thread.jspa?threadID=32286&tstart=0,
    where it appears Blackboard tried and gave up on integrating
    Captivate 3's SCORM protocols with Blackboard about a year ago
    after trying to work things through.
    Wouldn't it make sense for Adobe Captivate's SCORM content to
    be compatible with this country's biggest and most widely utilized
    learning management system? This is not a rhetorical question.
    You've got some smart guys, Adobe. If you agree that it does make
    sense, please, make it work, or tell me (and by extension others)
    what works. I'll be happy to learn and eat humble pie.

    While I've no direct experience with Blackboard, I would
    strongly
    suspect the issue lies with Blackboard and not Captivate.
    There are stories tenfold about the net about issues with
    Blackboard and
    true SCORM functionality, as well as general IT reviews of
    Blackboard
    code being a mash of years-old spaghetti.
    Not that Captivate is necessarily the essence of efficient
    programming,
    not at all...but I don't think it fair or likely to put the
    burden
    square on Adobe's shoulders. The fact that Captivate works
    pretty well
    with many, many other LMS systems alone would indicate it's
    more likely
    a Blackboard issue.
    However, reading through the thread, this appears to be a
    Vista-related
    issue? Only? I've not had to deliver any Captivate-specific
    projects to
    a Vista environment so perhaps my above opinion is not as
    rounded as it
    needs to be. Are you sure this is not a browser issue? Do you
    find the
    Captivate files to work correctly in the ADL Test Suite and
    Reload
    Player? If they work in those environments properly, then
    even more an
    indication of a Blackboard issue...

  • Cannot make long distance calls when dialing from BB address book

    Hello, 
    1) If use a number from my address book, example 1-604-824-2021, to call long distance I get a message "all long distance calls must include the area code.  Please check the number and dial again."   If I use the telephone pad to call the exact same number, eg 1-604-82402021, the call goes through.  Is there a setting to adjust?  Please advise.  Thank you.
    2) I synched my BB to Outlook 2007 on my pc in order to print a hardcopy of my contact list.  The sync worked fine but only gave me the contacts with an email address and their name.  Contacts on my BB without email addresses didn't show on the list and all details, addresses, birthdates, and most importantly phone numbers for any contacts didn't show up.  Is there a way to get ALL the contact details on a hardcopy?  Thank you.
    The folks at Telus can't help because they apparently don't know BB products well enough.  I'm not about to pay BB technical to tell me how to use their product but i might take the service providers advise to buy an iPhone.  Can someone offer advise to solve these two seemingly simple issues
    Thanks again.

    Interesting...it should sync everything...hmmm... Well, if your only interest is a hard copy, then an export might be just as simple. The Desktop Software can export to a CSV, which you could then render in Excel, and do with as you please. Unfortunately, the export feature was removed in the most recent versions of the Desktop Software (don't ask...it's a HUGE bru-ha-ha!!), and you must use an older version (6.x or lower, as I recall) to do that:

  • Can I have two versions of firefox - latest and the older 3.6, which I can only use with Blackboard?

    My 8 new Firefox is fine. But I am using the Blackboard online LMS, which has not yet been upgraded for the newer Firefox. I was told Blackboard works fine with the 3.6 firefox. Hence I want to know if I can have both versions of firefox at once on my Windows 7 laptop PC. Or can I only have one version at a time.

    Yes - you can either use a portable version of Firefox 3.6 or you can run two profiles. If you search on how to run 2 profiles there are instructions out there.

  • Instructions for G3 display cable fix?

    I've got an old ibook g3 model m6497 whose display began blanking at certain angles. The problem grew worse, to the point that virtually no angle would display. I followed the directions at ifixit (fantastic site!) for replacing the screen, and I'm pretty sure that I've got a cable problem: when I wiggle the black wire on the right entering the display, the screen brightens and darkens to match.
    However ifixit does not provide the detailed instructions for opening up the display so I can track down where the problem is. I've seen references to fixing the wires/cables in this forum, so can I get step by step directions on how to go about fixing this?

    Well as they say, the operation was a success, but the patient died. the instructions you gave were great for opening the display, but I lacked all the tools to pull off a rewire hack. In the meantime, the tests I did run while the machine was disassembled seem to have addled the on/off switch. Oh, well: as you said, it is an old machine, though I would like to think a $1000+ machine would last at least 10 years.
    Anyway, the iMac we are buying to replace it has no hinges or disk trays to cause wear and tear, so maybe it will go the distance? : ) thanks for your help!

  • Minimum safe distance to a Aironet 1242AG

    To whom it may concern,
    I've been trying to conduct safety studies on RF systems I'm using on a project, one of which is the Cisco Aironet 1242AG. The FCC's OET states that for the 2.45GHz frequency range, an RF exposure of 1mw/(cm^2) is acceptable for non-controlled RF. I ran a few calculations for our Aironet coupled with a high gain antenna (15dBi) and determined the minimum safe distance was 4.2" away from the antenna. However, standard documentation in the Quick Start Guide for the Aironet 1240AG series access point claims the minimum safe distance is 7.9". I'm trying to figure out how that 7.9" figure was arrived at. The high gain antenna in use is omnidirectional with a beam height of + - 8 degrees.
    The answer is important to me because we have our antenna mounted near a place where a human could sit. Part of me wonders if 7.9" was arrived at simply because the FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C mentions devices with external omni-antenna being typically mounted 20cm away from where a human could be (pg.19).
    Any insight would be great to this.

    I think the line "Proper installation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits" clarifies the fact that FCC recommended and cisco recommendation is different taking human safety into account.

  • TS2570 Still cant access my computer, followed instructions to perform a safe boot and last line of script it shows: BootCacheControl: Unable to open /Var/db/BootCache.playlist:2 No such file or directory. Any idea?

    Brand new Mac Book Pro
    Purchased in Mexico's Department store Liverpool on June 20th 2012
    Purchased Memory upgade to 8Gb, on june 27th, at Apple Store Memorial City, Houston
    Upgraded memory from 4Gb to 8Gb on June 28th.
    Tried to write on my external HD (previously written on a windows based PC) with no success.
    Upon reccomendation from a Mac assistant, copied all my external HD contents into my Mac Hard drive.
    Then formatted my external HD and copied back all my information to it.
    deleted all the  information from my MacBook Pro HD.
    Attempted to repeat the same operation with another external HD, but got a message saying there was not enough epace on the computer HD (even though I have a 750Gb Hard Drive.
    Looked in the trash bin and there it was, all the information previously deleted..
    Could not empty the trash bin, although I got a message asking me to safely delete all the information from the trash bin,
    Could not get enough space released, after several attpempts the trash bin was finally emptied.
    All happy getting acquainted with my new MacBook Pro. Two days later, got a gray screen and not able to start the computer.
    Looking in to Mac support I found article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 and followed instructions to perform a safe boot:
    "Perform a Safe Boot
    Simply performing the Safe Boot may resolve this issue.
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to
    see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
    Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
    The following is the script that appears on the screen upon safe boot. and halt after the last line.

  • Can't open my photo library after upgrading to iPhoto 11.  is it possible to load iPhoto 9.0.1 after loading 11?  have followed all other instructions but it still won't let me open iPhoto.

    can't open my photo library after upgrading to iphoto 11.  Is it possible to download iphoto 9.0.1 after installing '11.  Have followed all the other instructions and am in a loop which doesn't allow me to access iphoto or my photos.

    when iphoto wouldnt open we read the trouble shooting info and it said that we may have needed to download 9.0.1 if we had an older version.  We obviously didn't download it before the upgrade and wondered if it would cause problems or indeed solve the problem if we downloaded it now!
    When we try to open iphoto is says:
    To open your library with this version of iphoto it first needs to be prepared
    To prepare the library use the iphoto library upgrader available from Apple.
    We have downloaded this twice now and it still sends us this message when we try to open iphoto. 

  • HT1203 iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - I tried to use the instructions to configure 2 different windows users sharing the same iTunes library.  I could not get this to work per the instructions.

    I tried to configure 2 windows users accounts using a single library per the instructions in HT1203.  My iTunes library is on an external drive.  I cannot get this to work.  Any suggestions?

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.
