What is AutoPublish?
How does AutoPublish work?
After logging in, the lesson is uploaded to the CALI website and you receive a unique URL for that lesson. You can put this URL on your course webpages (i.e. BlackBoard, TWEN or other courses websites) or email it to your students to allow them to link through to the AutoPublished lesson.
From the CALI website you will be able to track access to your lessons and if students use this link and save their scores, you will be able to view student scores either individually or in aggregate.
Is there a way to AutoPublish from a Mac or Linux PC?
How long will AutoPublished lessons stay on the website?
Lesson will stay on the website as long as faculty are using them. We won't look to clean up AutoPublished lessons until at least one year of inactivity has passed. At that point, we will attempt to contact the faculty member who authored the lesson and only then disable it (but not delete it).
Can anyone see my Autopublished lesson? Can I restrict access to my AutoPublished lesson so that only certain people can see it?
When you AutoPublish a lesson, you are given a unique URL to access that lesson. The only way to access the lesson is with that URL. You control who sees the lesson by deciding who to share the URL with. Be warned that CALI is not able to tell if your students share the link to the AutoPublished lesson with other students.
How do I delete/remove a previously AutoPublished lesson?
Can I make changes to an existing CALI lessons and then AutoPublish it?
Yes. We request that you let us know via email if you are doing this. We need to make sure that proper attribution is applied to your and our materials. You can contact Deb Quentel (dquentel@cali.org) for the passwords needed to edit existing lessons.
Is CALI interested in buying AutoPublished lessons?
Perhaps. Please contact Deb Quentel (dquentel@cali.org) if you wish to discuss selling your lesson to CALI.
Which version of CALI Author should I be running to get the AutoPublish features ?
The AutoPublish features of CALI Author are available beginning with version 3.1.3, so you should run version 3.1.3 or higher to use AutoPublish. You can download the latest version of CALI Author here. (login required)
When I use an image in my lesson more than once, AutoPublish asks me to upload it multiple times. Do I need to upload multiple copies?
If I link my AutoPublish lesson through my course web page, can students access the lesson without logging onto the CALI site?
Why do I get an error message about a missing book when starting the lesson?
This error appears because Flash thinks it's not supposed to run files from your folder.
- If you've just installed the library, please restart your web browser. This may be sufficient.
- The installation program attempts to fix this but with some PC security settings it's unable to. In this case you'll need to manually add the CALI path.
- Go to this web page: Flash Global Security Settings
- Select the Edit Locations button on the Security Panel and add your CALI path via Add Location. This is usually just 'C:\CCALI'.
- Make sure the CALI path appears with a (green) checkmark next to it.
- Restart your browser or close all your browser windows.
