We're pleased to announce a series of enhancements to the Educator Dashboard, tailored specifically to elevate your teaching experience within ATu. Valuable faculty feedback has driven us to introduce features that simplify course management, saving you time and effort.

1. Create Custom Section Headings for Streamlined Course Organization

We understand the importance of clear organization in your courses. Now, with the latest enhancement, you have the ability to add section headings within the course assignment list.

2. Use the "Add All" Button for Group Learning Activities

This gives you more time for instructional design and engagement and simplifies the step of selecting learning activities.

Enhancing Access to Educator Resources: Navigating the New and Improved In-App Main Page

As our team aims to make your teaching experience more seamless and efficient, we are excited to share some exciting changes happening within our web suite. Our new and improved in-app main pages are designed to make it easier for you to access valuable educator resources that were once dispersed across the website. The following provides a quick guide through the key changes and how they will benefit you in your teaching endeavors.

1. Lab Handouts and Worksheets: Streamlined Access

One of the most significant enhancements we've made is the relocation of Lab Handouts and Worksheets. These resources are now easily accessible for each app, right from the main menu under "Teaching Content." This improvement will save you precious time and simplify your workflow. No more hunting through the website; the resources you need are just a click away. Whether you're preparing for a lecture or guiding your students through a lab exercise, finding these materials is now a breeze.

2. Curricular Standards: At Your Fingertips

We understand the importance of having access to accreditation standards while planning your courses. To facilitate this, we've made standards and textbook references available for each app and simulation. These provide a valuable reference tool, helping you align your teaching objectives with your institution's educational goals, professional accreditation standards, and contemporary textbook references. You can easily locate these within the respective app or simulation, saving you the hassle of extensive searching.

3. App Tutorial Videos: Seamless Integration

Visual aids are invaluable when it comes to understanding and using educational technology effectively. That's why we've restructured our web suite to house App Tutorial Videos under "App Information." Now, when available, you'll be able to quickly familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of the application, making it easier to integrate into your teaching materials.

As we strive to enhance your teaching experience, the relocation of educator resources to the in-app main page is a significant step forward. We understand the challenges you face as educators, and these changes are designed to simplify your access to essential materials, streamline your planning, and, ultimately, improve the learning experience for your students. We hope these modifications make your educational journey smoother and more efficient. 

Should you have any questions or need additional assistance, please schedule a meeting today with your ATu Education Expert, Dr. Christopher Schmidt.

Your success as an educator is our priority, and we're committed to providing the resources and support you need to thrive in your teaching role!

eLearning Educator Dashboard Part 2: Guide to Creating and Managing Course Assignments

Are you ready to create and manage course assignments for your students using our Educator Dashboard? In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through the process from start to finish. Let's get started!

Step 1: Add Students to the Cohort

Before you begin creating course assignments, ensure you've successfully added students to the cohort. This will help you manage and track their progress effectively.

Step 2: Create a New Course

To create new course assignments, start by providing a course title that matches the course you're teaching and set the start and end dates based on the duration of the course. The scores collected in the gradebook will be based on the learner's activity during the specified date range.

Step 3: Choose Course Assignments

Now, let's select the assignments your learners should complete throughout the course. You can see all available apps or filter them by category. Select the app you’re looking for, for example, "Assistive Devices Simulations" and choose the learning modules within that app.

Step 4: Organize Assignments

Once you've selected your assignments, they will appear in your assignment list. You can also adjust their order by dragging them up or down. If you make a mistake, no worries - you can easily delete any assignment by clicking the 'X' button. You can then assign course assignments to your students through your syllabus or learning management system.

Step 5: Access the Gradebook and Review Individual Scores

Students' scores will automatically populate the course's gradebook as they complete assignments. In the gradebook, you'll see the course, cohort, and list of the organized assignments.

Within the gradebook, you can review individual student scores for each assignment. Explore details such as:

  • total time spent

  • play count

  • low and high scores, and whether the student passed the assignment (with the passing point set at 80%)

For a deeper dive into student performance, click on View for the data on each individual attempt. This detailed information will help you track and support student progress effectively.

Step 6: Roster View

You also have the option to view student progress learning activities by course roster, providing a view of all students in your class. Click on each student to see their assigned learning activities and scores.

Congratulations!

You've now learned how to create and manage course assignments using our Educator Dashboard. This powerful tool will help you track, support, and enhance your students' learning experiences.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. We're always ready to assist!

eLearning Educator Dashboard Part 1: Link Faculty and Student Accounts in Three Simple Steps!

We are thrilled to present the dynamic and user-centric Educator Dashboard, a groundbreaking tool to enhance your teaching experience.

The Educator Dashboard-

  • streamlines student assignments,

  • tracks their progress,

  • and provides data-driven insights for assessment.

Let's take a closer look at how you can make the most of this innovative platform in three simple steps.

Step 1: Access the Educator Dashboard

The first step is straightforward. Log in to your faculty account and navigate to the Educator Dashboard. You'll find it conveniently located at the top of the web suite. Once you're in, a world of possibilities opens up.

Step 2: Create a Cohort

Creating a cohort is a breeze with the Educator Dashboard. Just click on "Add a Cohort." You'll be prompted to give your cohort a title and include any additional notes or instructions you think are necessary. Click "Create," and your new cohort is ready to roll.

Step 3: Invite Learners to the Cohort

The real power of the Educator Dashboard comes into play when you start inviting your learners. To do this, click on "Add Learner Emails." 

Here, you have two options:

1. CSV Spreadsheet: You can upload a CSV spreadsheet file containing the email addresses of your learners. This is a handy way to add multiple learners at once.

2. Manual Entry: Alternatively, you can manually enter learner email addresses. If you have a small group or want to add learners one by one, this is a convenient method.

After you've added your learners to the cohort, the next step is to invite them to join through an email invitation from you. Here's how they can join:

Generic Invitation: You can send the pre-written invitation message that comes with the Educator Dashboard. It's quick and hassle-free.

Custom Invitation: For a personal touch, you can copy and paste the invitation link and send it via direct email, or LMS messaging, include it in your syllabus, or choose the communication method that suits you best.

Once your learners receive the invitation, they simply click the link and follow the instructions to join the cohort. It's a smooth and seamless process, designed to make your teaching experience and your students' learning journey as efficient as possible.


We hope these three steps help you get started with the Educator Dashboard and that you see the immense potential it holds for enhancing your teaching. Should you have any questions or need further guidance, our support team is always ready to assist.

Ignite the power of the new Educator Dashboard and take your teaching to the next level.
