Printing PDFs is a weird game. Sometimes a PDF just won't print. But if you use a different program to print it, it works.



In the MacLab, there are two programs which open and print PDFs: Preview and Adobe Acrobat. I think Preview is in the dock. You can find Adobe Acrobat in the Applications folder. There is a folder on the dock and to the right, which is the Applications folder and it contains every Application installed on the computer. In the Applications folder, you will find… Continue

The most convenient way of storing and organising your podcasts on your own computer is to use iTunes. iTunes is free and will work on Windows as well as on Macs.... just download it from the Apple site.

OK, what I mean by this is: memory sticks are great and all. Except that they get lost. And their files can go corrupt just when you need them. My top tip of the week: don't put all your faith in one memory stick. Don't let one memory stick be the one and only place where you store important files. Especially if you have your own computer, let your computer be the main storage. Sure, carry the stick around with your files on it, but the files should also be on your computer.

This little movie (below in the Video section) was made about 18 months ago and needs updating. But the general gist is there: how to hand in an assignment. It covers: going into Blackboard to submit the assignment electronically, printing out the front of assignment cover sheet, stapling together and submitting the paper to the wooden assignment box.
