- Replace terms: "Construction Space" with "Authoring Space"
and: "Construction space" with "Authoring space"
for consistency with type of role used to access it, and action taken there.
1: \label{Ambiguous_Reference}
2: This error message has come up when a user tried to look at a resource
3: in the publication space, while the viewer is not currently in a
4: class.
5:
6: LON-CAPA's resources are rendered very dynamically, reacting to the
7: class the viewer is in, where in a sequence they are, whether they've
8: finished other problems correctly, how many times they've tried a
9: problem... all of these things are stored as part of the information a
10: course keeps track of about a student. When viewing resources that
11: depend on this information to determine how to render them correctly
12: while not actually in a course, LON-CAPA cannot really determine how
13: to correctly render the resource.
14:
15: Rather than simply refuse to show you the resource, LON-CAPA will try
16: to make reasonable guesses about how you want to view the resource. In
17: order to warn you that this is not a definitive rendering of the
18: resource, LON-CAPA displays the warning ``Could not handle ambiguous
19: resource reference'' to warn you that it's guessing about the
20: resource.
21:
22: For the same reasons as LON-CAPA cannot ``correctly'' determine how to
23: render the resource, you will not be able to correctly interact with a
24: resource viewed with an ambiguous reference. LON-CAPA logs a student's
25: interaction with a resource in the course information, so if you are
26: not viewing the resource from inside a course, LON-CAPA has nowhere to
27: store information about whether or not you've gotten the problem
28: correct, how many tried you should be allowed, etc, so all input to
29: the problem will simply be discarded. To test the problem, use your
30: \textbf{Authoring Space}.
