Guide for teachers

Signing in

1. Open your invite email, set a password, and sign in with that address. Press "College dashboard".
2. "My courses" is at the top: each course you teach, with "Take attendance", "Upload notes" and "Assignments" (it reads "Mark N" when work is waiting).
3. No courses yet? Your HOD or principal adds courses and assigns teachers to them.

Uploading notes, links and written notes

1. Open the course (or press "Upload notes").
2. Choose "Upload a file", "Add a link" or "Write a note". Fill in "Unit" (e.g. Unit 1) so students see notes grouped by unit.
3. Leave "Publish now and notify students" ticked to send it straight away, or untick it to save a draft. Press "Add".
4. "Seen by N/M" on each item shows who has opened it — "Not yet" lists who hasn't.

• Files: PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, images or zip, up to 25 MB.
• Save notes as PDF so students can read them online as well as download them; Word and PowerPoint can only be downloaded.
• Put videos on YouTube or Drive and add them as a link.

Taking attendance

1. Open the course → "Attendance" → "Take attendance" (or press "Take attendance" on your dashboard).
2. Choose the date, the lecture number, the type (Lecture, Practical or Tutorial) and, optionally, the topic. The topic goes into the course file as "lectures delivered".
3. Everyone starts present — tap the students who are absent, then press "Save attendance".
4. "Students" shows each student's percentage against the 75% line (red below it). Students under the line are told automatically.

• Saved the wrong lecture? Take it again for the same date and lecture number — saving corrects it. "Lectures" lists every one, with "Edit".

Setting and marking assignments

1. Open the course → "Assignments" → "Set assignment".
2. Choose how students do it: "In the notebook" (they hand in their notebook; you tick who did), "Upload" (photos, a PDF or a document) or "Online answer" (typed on the page).
3. Add the due date, maximum marks and, if you like, a question sheet. Press "Set assignment" — students are notified.
4. To mark: open the assignment, enter marks and feedback, and press "Save (N)". Students who were marked are told. "Export" downloads the list.

Internal marks

1. Open the course → "Internal marks". Add a column — "New column, e.g. Unit Test 1", "Out of", type — and press "Add column".
2. Type marks, or AB for absent, then "Save" on that column.
3. "Publish to students" shows the column to students. "Lock as final" makes it final — after that only the HOD or principal can unlock it.
4. "Export for exam cell" downloads the sheet.

Course outcomes (COs) and attainment

1. Open the course → "Outcomes". Write each CO with its Bloom's level and press "Add CO".
2. Fill the CO–PO table (1 low, 2 medium, 3 high) and press "Save table".
3. Under "What assesses each CO", tick the tests and assignments that test it. Attainment then works itself out from the marks.
4. Near the end of the semester press "Open course-exit survey"; students rate each CO from 1 to 5, and that becomes the indirect part of attainment.
5. "Export for course file" downloads the attainment sheet; the "Course file (PDF)" button on the course page gives the whole course file.

Notices to your class

1. On the course page, under "Notices to this class", write a title and details, tick "Pin to the top" if needed, and press "Post notice".

Mentoring

1. If you are a mentor, Mentoring → "My mentees" lists your students, with those who need attention first (attendance under 75%, a slow learner, or two or more assignments missing).
2. Open a student to see their attendance, marks and missing work, and record each meeting: date, "What you discussed", "Agreed action", then "Record meeting".
