Animations & Interaction

The Leeds Beckett University website occasionally uses animations to page elements and animated gifs to add impact to pages. If you wish to stop them from playing for accessibility purposes or for personal preference then please see the guidance below. Please note that browsers sometimes change how they operate, so please refer to your browser help files to find their latest information.
How do I turn off animations?

Chrome

Chrome users will need to use browser extensions. Animation Policy from Google will help you set your own preferences.

Microsoft Edge

There is currently no way to disable animations within Microsoft Edge. Users of Edge (Chromium) browser can install the Chrome extensions above and use them.

Internet Explorer

To stop animations on a single page you can just press the 'Esc' key. This will stop the animation on that page. If you wish to restart the animations you need to refresh the page. To permanently disable the playing of animated GIF images, open Internet Options > Advanced tab. Under the Multimedia section, uncheck the Play animations in webpage check-box, click Apply and Exit and then restart your computer.

Firefox

Type about:config in Firefox address bar and hit Enter to open Settings. Search for the image.animation_mode flag and change its value from Normal to None. Once you restart Firefox this will disable animations.

If you have never submitted online before, or if you are unsure how, first check how you need to submit your work. The majority of courses submit using Turnitin, but some courses use Blackboard. You may be asked to submit to Blackboard for large files (over 50MB), URLs, or file formats that are not supported by Turnitin or for non-text based assignments. NB. Blackboard Assignments do not provide Similarity Reports.

We recommend using Chrome browser for Turnitin, MyBeckett / Blackboard and submitting your work using a PC or laptop not a mobile device.

The Library website has information on how to submit using both tools. There are step by step guides to both Turnitin and Blackboard.

There are also lots of useful videos on the Library YouTube channel, including how to submit both a Turnitin and a Blackboard assignment, downloading a submission receipt and viewing and interpreting your Turnitin similarity report .

If you need to submit a video via Blackboard, our Digital Learning Team has a useful guide on submitting videos via a Blackboard assignment, and using Panopto tool.

NB: There are different ways to submit video assessments. Please check if your module contains other instructions about how to submit your video before starting your submission.

Don’t leave it too late. Make sure you have given yourself enough time to submit before the due date. If you are submitting via Blackboard, and your lecturer is allowing multiple submissions, submit early, so you get used the process before you submit your final piece of work. Turnitin assignments do not allow multiple file submissions.

If you need help, please contact us.
