Working with Critical Assignments

Go to Livetext at http://livetext.com and login putting your username and password into the boxes on your right.

Once you have logged in you will be at the “My Work” area of Livetext. To find your assignment click on the create button in the corner of the “My Work” space.

You will see a four step process to create the assignment for you to submit your work.

From the first drop-down menu choose your folder depending on your status. Undergraduate students will use the "Undergraduate Common Assignments" folder, Graduate-Masters level students will use the "Graduate Common Assignments" folder, Assignments that span over the entire program can be found under the "TEP-GTEP documents" folder and the Education Administration and Leadership program assignments are located in the folder named such.

Next, choose the template that you will be using depending on your class.

Next, give your document a title using your first initial and last name followed by the current semester e.g. fall07 followed by a descriptor for the assignment. The description is optional. Finally you will click the “create document” in step 4.

The document will then open in edit mode in your “My Work” area. Section One contains the instructions on how to submit the document once it is completed.

Section two contains the specific directions for the critical assignment.

Section three contains the rubric for which the assignment will be graded.

Section four contains the Alabama Course of Study objectives for this assignment.

To complete the assignment click on the edit across from section two. The document will open up a text editor and a place to attach documents and images. Place your assignment in this area either by typing in the window or by attaching a document in the attachment area. Click the save and finish buttons when you are through editing the section.

When the document has been completed click on the “Submit for Review” link at the top of the opened document. Type in the instructors name and then hit the “Submit” button. You have just sent your document to your instructor for grading.
