Technical aspects of Mobile Ed.

Dave Thawley

I was wondering if anyone could answer these two questions please.

1) It is possible to download all video associated with a mobile ed course. Once done, is it possible to see what video resources I have downloaded. I have quite a few mobile ed courses, downloaded some but I've ran out of memory and want to delete some of them. I can go in one at a time but it would be great if I could see what is actually on my machine.

2) I've purchased a couple of certificate mobile Ed's (which group related modules together). Is there any way other than adding them to a favorites folder to see what certificate modules I have  ?

Thanks

I believe any time you go through a course in Logos the videos are automatically downloaded and cached as you watch them. Choosing to "Download all media" downloads them before you watch them so you can view the course when you are offline, but you will need to delete the downloaded media for any course you have gone through.

There isn't anything currently within Logos that will help do this now. You can see which certificates you have purchased in your order history on Logos.com (https://www.logos.com/account/orders/history), but there is nothing drawing attention to the certificate programs within Logos. That's probably something worth looking into on our end.

One thing you can do that might be helpful is to add your own customs tags to resources. In a resource's information panel there is a spot to "Add tag". You could go through and tag your courses that appear in certificate programs as "New Testament Certificate" or whatever (you can use multiple tags if a course is in more than one certificate). Then when you are looking through your library you can sort by "My Tags" and see all the courses in a particular certificate.

Brilliant, thanks for that Miles. I will check the downloads. I was wondering why I was running out of memory on my Surface :-) I thought I had downloaded more than I thought I had and this may well explain it.   On my normal workstation there is no real problem with memory but on the surface I only have office and logos and  logos is running out of memory indexing :-)  I'll go through the ones I have been  watching and delete them

Thanks as well for the suggestion of Tagging.  It would be great something could be done at your end but this will be workable. I didn't know I could do this so it is very useful advice. I was doing as you advise in going into purchase history but adding them to favorites. I guess it will be far easier to tag them and add them to a collection  :-) 

Thanks again Mike, I appreciate your quick response.
