Portrait and Landscape
Jun 7th, 2009 by Michele Brannon-Hamilton
Well if you’ve followed me through the land of pages and posts, you’ll know there’s a bit of confusion here. I seem to have a bit of a problem adapting to this new blog environment with its html rules. I’ve never been one for rules and so it seems the online environment is no exception.
Recently, my group created a a wonderful LMS Evaluation Rubric to help us evaluate different learning management systems. It works well and posted easily to the group discussion for everyone to view. Naturally, I thought I would use it in my latest assignment in which we had to evaluate an lms.
Instinct told me not to add it to my LMS page just in case something went wrong (now why would I even think that) and then my LMS assignment could get messed up. So, I created a LMS Rubric page and added our fabulous chart to that section. You know it didn’t go well, don’t you?
Well, the chart is there in body but not soul – to be more precise, the left hand side appears but the right is nowhere to be found. Perhaps, it’s out in cyberspace. The perfectionist in me said pull it off immediately before anyone sees what a mess you’ve made. Instead, I decided to leave it there with the hopes that someone will view it, take pitty on me and leave a message explaining what on earth I’ve done wrong this time.
So please, if you could spare the time to aid someone in need, view the chart and let me know how to fix it before I come to my senses and delete the thing.
My next post will be about the trouble with fonts. If you’d like a preview, scan my LMS assignment with eagle eyes and you will see that something just isn’t quite right.
I should also mention that I was a computer teacher for 7 years and took courses in technical writing and web design. Now isn’t that embarrassing? Who said educational technology couldn’t be fun?
