Errata…no one purposefully creates it, 
but there must be a defined process in how to handle it. Now, there’s digital errata and there’s print errata and each has its own defined process. An area that can cause issues for the learner is when the print content has errata, but the learner is unaware. For many years there was a site where print errata was hosted, and instructors and administrators needed to remember to check before assigning coursework. Well, everyone is aware by now, Adobe Flash is no longer supported. And, unfortunately, the software that the electrical training ALLIANCE used for submitting and retrieving textbook errata used Adobe Flash. Therefore, it was necessary to develop a process to both submit and retrieve printed textbook errata. This process is very similar to the method developed with LMS errata and is now available on the LMS. The errata process is detailed below.
Keep in mind, retrieving textbook errata is only necessary for printed textbook material. All errata for eBooks are handled electronically, so the user should have updated material right away throughout their subscription.
All textbook errata will be placed on the main course page and is accessible to both instructors and students. Simply click on the link to retrieve the errata PDF.
Once the errata PDF is open, all errata for the textbook will be displayed. At this point, the instructor and students should make corrections to their hard copy of the textbook.
Submitting Errata
The submission process is very similar to submitting quiz question errata. To submit errata, open one of the lessons in the LMS course that requires the textbook. Click on the Resources tab in the upper right.
When the resources page is open, a Submit Activities/Errata link is available on the middle right side of the page. Click on this link.
With the Submit Activities/Errata page open, there are three options. Click on the Submit Errata link on the right side of the page.
When the Submit Errata page is open, it will have your name, email address, program ID, program name, course, and lesson auto-populated. Click in the errata box to type in the errata. Please be as specific as possible with the errata submission (textbook name, catalog number, page, column, and paragraph). You can also submit an attachment such as a photograph with a mark-up of the page where the errata resides.
When finished with the description of the errata, click on the Submit link at the bottom of the page.
After the errata has been successfully submitted, a page will appear thanking you for your input.
Within a few minutes of submitting the errata, you will receive an email verification that we have received the errata submission. If you do not receive an email, please check your junk folder to see if it may be there.
If you have any questions, please contact Steve Strickland via email or by calling 888.652.4007 at the electrical training ALLIANCE.
