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. This information should be available within your MyBeckett modules, please read any instructions carefully before starting your submission.

The majority of courses submit using Turnitin, but some courses use Blackboard or PebblePad. The Library website has information on how to submit using these tools.

Any other tips?

There are lots of useful videos on the Library YouTube channel.
We recommend using Chrome browser for Turnitin, MyBeckett / Blackboard and submitting your work using a PC or laptop not a mobile device.
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.
There are different ways to submit video assessments. Please check if your module contains instructions 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 your lecturer is allowing draft submissions, submit early, so you get used the process before you submit your final piece of work.
