Fall 2000 Edition
This document will be expanded as the week comes to a close. For now, the hilights...
Fill in the Blank...
Hey, it's finally here, and finally available to students!
Housekeeping issues...
- Courses are now called Units
- Most existing content (save for Fill-in-the-Blanks) was moved over to the Fall 2000 edition -- there were some
course/units that would have been invisible to you via the browser that were not moved over. If
something appears to be missing, please let us know; be sure to include the unit or lesson that's
experiencing trouble
- Student data newer than August 1 was carried forward
Using Lessons...
- clustering is entirely managed via the Cluster itself -- press the edit
button to check which questions should be part of the Cluster
- creating new questions has been streamlined to make your life easier -- please send us
any feedback of how it could be improved!
- when showing a lesson in single-page mode, the show titles flag for questions
and clusters is now respected (previously, titles were not shown at all)
Reporting...
- The options that used to be under the Statistics panel are now under Reports
- While there are a slew of new reports for lessons, being able to browse and grade comments
will appear the week of 2 October; the text of surveys and fill-in-the-blanks can be had
through the Show answers by user report
- Units can be connected to course sections in the Access panel; this will allow you to
both limit access to your lessons as well as provide more focused reports. You can attach
as many sections as you'd like -- for instance, a large lecture plus its discussion sections -- which
would allow you to effectively filter reports by discussion sections
- Some lessons are large enough and taken by enough people to make the web reporting
frustrating; we're looking into ways to resolve this issue
- As yet, none of the reports will let you view earlier "turns" students have taken; this will
be available the week of 2 October.
If you have any questions, or experience any difficulties with the Fall 2000 Edition,
please message us at lessons@umich.edu.
