Students

The USERS > Students option displays the list of students in the current course (or another scope if you are logged in as administrator).

Select groups

If groups have been created in the current course, a box is displayed to select the groups of students you want to see. By default the groups to which you belong are selected. If you change this selection, you have to click on the link Update students to update the list of students to be shown below.

List of students

Under the group selection box, the list of students of the selected groups (or the entire course, if there are no groups) is displayed. You can choose the presentation format of the students between:

  • class photo, with students distributed in a two-dimensional matrix (default)
    • you can select the number of columns between 1 and 50, with 10 being the default
    • in the upper left corner a Print icon is displayed, which allows you to see a print view of the class photo
  • list, with one student in each row
    • with photos (default) or without photos
    • in the upper left corner a Show all data in a table icon is displayed, which allows you to see a detailed view of the list
      • with more columns, including the custom fields of the record card for the current course
      • ready to be printed or copied-pasted in another program (eg to a spreadsheet)

Select students

Next to each student there is a checkbox that you can click to select that student. If you want to select all students, click on the Students: checkbox at the top of the list. If you want to deselect all students, click on the Students: checkbox again.

If you click on the button Show records, the record cards of all the selected students will be displayed.

Record cards

After clicking on Show records, a list with the selected students' record cards will be displayed. For each student it is shown:

  • the shared record card for all courses
  • the personalized record card for the current course, in case the teachers of this course have created custom fields

Shared record card

In the upper left corner of each record card there are a series of icons for interacting with the student:

Course record card

The teachers of the course can create a personalized record card for the course with custom fields by clicking on the link Edit record fields.

If the teachers of the course have already created custom record fields, a first box will appear to edit those fields, with the following columns:

  • Field name
  • Number of lines in the text area where the information for that field will be entered
  • Visible by the student?
    • Hidden to students (default)
    • Visible but not editable by students
    • Visible and editable by students

Then another box with a form to enter a new record field will be displayed.

Print record cards

At the top of the list of students' record cards is a Print link to display a print view, in which it is possible to select the number of record cards per page, between 1 (default) and 10.
