Read blog entry...Tip - Silence the phones
You're on a roll, you're recording your best piece of audio ever..... and then one of your phones in the room rings, throwing you completely off. Although it seems obvious, you would be surprised at how easy it is to ruin a recording by being thrown off due to the phone ringing. Remember to turn off/silence/unplug your phones when recording. More recently this also applies to computer noises such as twitter/facebook alerts. If you hear the Microsoft Windows shutting down sound then you have probably lost your recording anyway! If you have any tips yourself, please do add them to the comments.

It can be a big leap and we hope to be along with you on the journey.
Read blog entry...Good housekeeping
Although it can be difficult to manage it is crucial to remove test accounts used by staff and associates in your VLE. I was reminded of this very recently when my main account was accidently suspended. Once I realised that I was locked out of my account and that I was out of hours for IT support I remembered that I had access to a test account that I used to mimic the student experience. This account was not suspended as it is not associated with my normal account. In this instance the test account had instructor rights (Blackboard) and I was able to continue as normal. This serves as a reminder that it is good practice to regularly remove temp accounts. Not only for security purposes but also to keep archives accurate and a tidy VLE house.
