Frequently Asked Qestions for Students

Where can I purchase LiveText?

  • You can purchase LiveText at the CWU Bookstore or online at the LiveText website. If you are purchasing online follow the directions of registration.

Why does my credit card not work when I purchase LiveText online?

  • If you have a parent's credit card, the billing address is where your parents live not where you are staying. When they ask for the billing address it means where does the bill for the credit card go. If the credit card bill is being delivered to your permanent address then that is the address you put in.

How do I register my account?
How do I create my portfolio?
  • There are many things you can create with LiveText but there are a few portfolio's you have to create depending what your major is. All education majors have to have a Professional Education Sequence portfolio created to post assignments for your professors. You can follow the directions from our create documents but in step 1 under document pick portfolio and under template pick Professional Education Sequence. There are different portfolio's added to this one if you have a different major. For example: Special Education Majors need this Professional Education Sequence and also need to create a Special Education portfolio.
  • You do the same process creating other portfolio's as you did for the Professional Education Sequence portfolio. There are other portfolio templates under the template item. So, depending on major just create the portfolio that applies.

How do I upload my document on LiveText?
  • On the bottom of the create documents page there is an example of what you might see. In your CTL Transition II portfolio you might see the cover page of the portfolio but on the left side of the screen you should see the different classes that are part of the education sequence here at Central. For an example, we will use the EDF 301 tab. Click on EDF 301 tab, it should take you to a new page. There on that page you should see a class overview and then heading that says Artifact 1 and then another section called standards. The one that you need to focus on is Artifact 1. Artifact 1 heading is highlighted in a color, if you follow that to the right of the screen you will see the word "edit" click that. Then that will lead you to a word processing page. This is where you can cut and paste or attach your document. After you have cut and pasted or attached your document then you need to save it (the save button is at the bottom of page) and then finish (this is on the right side of the page). IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU PRESS FINISH, IF YOU DON'T FINISH YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN. For a more detailed description see the link Authoring within a Document.

How do I print just a document not the whole page in LiveText?
  • Once you see the document that you want to print on your screen you need to highlight it. Once you have highlighted go to FILE then to PRINT. When you are in print change the print range to SELECTION. Then finally print.

You must always re-submit your changes.
  • After you edit a document that has already been submitted, the portfolio containing the changes must be re-submitted. If you do not do this, your portfolio won't recognize your changes and will revert back to the last submitted state.
