Demo Documentation Teacher - BrainHoney

Instructor Experience

This guide is not meant to be a training resource, but rather a simple path for demonstrating various features of BrainHoney. To start this process, login with the following user credentials:

Username: teacher Password: password

There are an additional 2 teachers to play with. These are teacher2 and teacher3. All have a password of `password'. Each teacher has slightly different rights in various sections which give them different capabilities on BH.

Below is the home screen of the instructor.

B Home is the base page for any instructor. The menu allows for:

? Syllabus: creating a new course with "Teach the Course" wizard and edit existing courses ? Gradebook: access to all gradebooks the user has grading rights in ? Objectives: shows objective mastery based upon grades on assignments and assessments ? View: allows user to view any course they are working in as well enrolled as a student in ? Grades: only shows when the user is enrolled in a course as a student ? Communicate: allows user to create emails and announcements

C To-Do List shows all the items that need instructor attention. This dropdown allows the instructor to narrow the list

down to a specific section.

D To-Do Search allows the instructor to enter any information, such as student name, assignment name, course name,

etc which will narrow the list down to a specific selection.

E Summary details are passed along to the administration. It tracks the number of students, the instructor's response

time to grade submitted items, class pace, and class performance.

F Sections show all the sections the instructor has access to. The short cuts links are the same as using the menus. G Critical Students show all the students that are falling behind in either pace or performance. More information
