Missing your sites and tools?

Check to make sure you aren't in fullscreen mode! You can exit full screen by clicking on the 4-headed arrow button!

     

Here's an important tip: iLearn can time-out if it is idling; it is best practice to always type your messages, discussions, assignments, and test & quizzes in a text pad, word doc or another platform and then paste it in the iLearn tool you are using.            

 

What does the "Mark for Review" option mean in Tests and Quizzes?

Mark for Review is meant for questions you are not sure of and want to refer back to BEFORE you submit your exam.

Warning: Once you click Submit for Grading you cannot go back to the questions you have marked, the exam is submitted!

More tips are available in the Taking Exams in iLearn Student Tip Sheet.

Having issues with Zoom? Have you signed in with your Marist credentials? https://marist-edu.zoom.us/ Below are some helpful tips:

Quick Zoom Fixes:

If you have no audio or your mic isn’t working:

  • Test "Speaker & Microphone" in Zoom
  • Check if your computer/device audio is muted  (Some machines: “Fn+F4” mutes the computer, confirm the light is not lit on the button)
  • Restart your computer
  • Use the call-in number
  • If none of these work, you may need to restart your home router

If the audio/video is choppy:

  • Bandwidth may be an issue from residential ISPs. Be patient. Turn off webcam
  • Test your home network bandwidth to Marist with the links below:
