Adding a Classroom Activity

To add a classroom activity to a course

1. Search for the course to which you want to add a classroom activity. See Searching for a Course for details on conducting a course search. The Course Builder page appears.

2. Click Add a Classroom Template. The Common Properties page appears.

3. Complete the Common Properties page. See Adding a Learning Activity.

4. Click Save. The Classroom Template appears.

5. In the Minimum Size and Maximum Size boxes, enter the minimum and maximum class size. The default settings are 0. (These values can be edited later when scheduling a class).

6. In the Class Comments, Class Material, Class Material Contact, and Class Material Location text areas, add the desired information.

7. Click Add Instructors to select qualified instructors for the class. The Search Instructor(s) page appears, from which you can search for all instructors within your database.

8. Enter the desired search terms.

9. Click Search. A list of matching instructors appears at the bottom of the page.

10. Click Check All Current Search Results if you wish to add all instructors found on your search to the classroom template, or select the check box(es) for those instructor(s) you wish to add.

11. Click Continue.

12. Select the Use Only Qualified Instructors check box if you wish to limit the instructors who can teach the class to only those added to the classroom template. If not selected, you will be able to conduct another instructor search when scheduling classes.

Note: All administrators with rights to schedule classes are considered instructors in the HLC and will be included in your search return if they match your search criteria.

13. In the No Show list, select the No Show rule for the class:

14. Student is Incomplete - This selection results in students graded as No Show remaining in incomplete status, when the class learning activity completion mode is Completion Required or Pass Required. Grading the student as No Show will not fail the class.

15. Student Fails the Course - This selection results in students graded as No Show failing the class and therefore failing the course when the class learning activity completion mode is Completion Required or Pass Required.

Note: See Grading a Class for additional information about No Show grading.

14. Click Save. The classroom activity has now been added to the course.

Note: You will be prompted to schedule classes once the course is published.
