You can list students (default) or create a new student.
Student List
Selection box - check this for a mass assignment of Sequence/Assignment using controls at the bottom.
ID - unique student ID generated by the system
User Name
Real Name The list is alphabetized on this field. You may want to put last name first,
Status - Active or Inactive. An Inactive Student does not occupy one of the student seats of the subscription plan, but all scores history and other student data is retained. (See Delete Student below)
Assigned - Indicates if a Sequence and Course has been assigned to that Student. This is done either by mass assignment or through the Course pane.
Controls - "See Scores" (of games played), "Edit", "Delete" [eyeball, writing board, trash can]
See Scores ("eyeball")
The student's name and unique number are in the header.
Game Number - This is the unique number of the game/stage combination which is used internally by the system. (Reference this number in any support issues.)
Title & Stage - Game title and Learn, Play, Quiz, Challenge, or Review
First, Last, Best - The scores obtained first, last, and best.
Target Score - The target score for the game/stage. Achieving the target score on the Quiz stage indicates mastery of the concept.
Date - Clicking on the score or hovering over it will show the date the score was achieved.
NOTE: By logging in as the student, a teacher may obtain a score report that may be printed.
Edit ("pen and tablet")
Name - This is intended to be the student's full name, and can be last name first if desired. It is used for display to the student and in reports.
Username - This must be a unique identifier in the system, but should be simple (especially for younger students.) A warning will be displayed when attempting to create a student with a user name already in the system. One trick is to append three numbers or teacher initials to a simple username, e.g. BillyH203, or BillyHLMS. (It is good practice that student's not share this information).
Assigned Teacher - Every student is assigned to a Teacher, and a Teacher may only view and/or create students assigned to them. A student may be moved (re-assigned) to another Teacher. All scores history and other data passes to purview of the new Teacher.
[Hint - If a second Teacher needs to see student information, the two teachers may share their username and password information for that purpose. Or a "generic" teacher may be set up whose credentials are made available to more than on teacher.]
Schools sometimes find it helpful to set up class names instead of teachers, e.g., FIRST GRADE, GENERAL MUSIC, and then provide teachers with the access credentials. In this way several teachers can each review specific groups of students efficiently.
Status - A student can be toggled between Active and Inactive status. An inactive student does not occupy a student seat, and is blocked from playing games.
When a Student is inactive a box appears to the right. If you want the Student to automatically reactivate at a future date, put that date in the "Until Date" box. Upon that date being reached, if the Student logs in, they will automatically be re-activated.
Password - This is only used in combination with the Username, so it can be simple. It should be kept secret by the student, but multiple students could have identical passwords. Members have often used musical terms, i.e., flute, horn, keys, staff, chord, piano, etc. successfully.
Courses - This is where the starting position of a learning sequence is assigned. It may be viewed or deleted. When a student clicks on an assignment they are taken to the Sequence Assignment Playing pane where they play each of the games in the Assignment. See "My Courses"
Badges - (pending)
Delete ("trashcan")
Deletion of a Student erases the Student information and all scores history. If it is anticipated that a student might return then it is better to temporarily make the student "Inactive". Obviously, an inactive student could still be deleted at a later date.
Mass Assignment
Three colored buttons are used to apply criteria to multiple students at one time. Selecting the small box at the very top left of the student list will select all students. Selection of multiple students less than all is done by checking the small boxes to the far left of each student name.
Then pressing one of the colored buttons will execute the desired function. You can always edit an individual student after a mass assignment.
Assign Courses (Orange) This is used to make course assignments to multiple students at once. First select the group of students you want to assign a Course Assignment to. Then use the "Assign Course" dropdown to select the appropriate Sequence and starting Assignment. Then select the (orange) "Assign Courses" box.
Bulk Activate (Green) This is used to activate multiple students at once. First select the group of students you want to activate. Then select the (green) "Bulk Activate" box.
Bulk De-Activate (Red) This is used to de-activate multiple students at once. First select the group of students you want to de-activate. Then select the (red) "Bulk Deactivate" box.
Hide Inactive
This control toggles between showing all students and showing only active students. When there are a large number of inactive students it is helpful to hide them from view. The default is to show all students, but a simple click on this toggle will hide the inactive students.
