  • So this is really frustrating that when I switch between roles I get error messages because they don't have the right permissions
  • right error message is made some sort of logging activity so if the students somehow got on a session like the IPS and trying to go in I tend to log on
  • Yeah.
  • If you go to status set click on the top and status set. It will should allow you to change the settings No
  • Oh status set and then scroll down to a new set of statuses
  • that you scroll down a little further to show you the status is there. Okay. So you can remove them or change them or make them available for students first, a certain period of time
  • Okay, so what I noticed Okay, so clicking on the question mark for available for students I can you read that all right
  • so, thing that I want to point out or I want to do consider is
  • makes sense but the titles available for students
  • Yeah. Yeah, so, this one isn't too bad? I guess the question I get very So, is this consistent so, I want to hide I want to hide something for the students I set two minutes to zero and we noticed another way to hide things from students. So, there's an eyeball and maybe there's some other ones. So important is consistency or the lack of consistency in your courses for Moodle it's not. So the other thing I noticed about just a little too big now. automatically set when not mark so speaking of surfing people don't record it let's say so now how do we get rid of it?
  • Did your available for me?
  • Yeah, so the other thing I notice, so we just went read through the instructions if you do want to hide it from students enter zero minutes
  • where it's blank,
  • then it's always available. That was that was the part of the documentation that was good. So to explain that. But then on the other hand. We said well, why not just use the eyeball. But here's the eyeball. So let's Okay, so that removes the option so, and why is there a delete icon here but not on the other ones.
  • Did you add delete? I mean did you add delete was late one that you've added yourself or
  • no I did not do that excuse
  • me, they probably have a couple of fields that cannot be deleted, specifically because the form probably will crash if you delete all the fields and try and run it and they don't want to do error checking.
  • Yeah, so any any markers, any pupil, any students who have done marking error?
  • So you notice if you download a worksheet you have you can't just it's not clear which columns you need. So it's better to keep them all
  • and just add the grade adding. And then if you don't, if instructor hasn't clicked on feedback, comments it won't just give you that column and the download and grading worksheet. You have to go back and add it so I or the instructor has to add it so that it appears in the way that your course is or Moodle wants to read it should we set
  • a time for President to make lady available for that entire session?
  • So what I'm curious now is if I say 90 minutes or less to update it doesn't mind having the status available for longer than the class time.
  • Can you set up for negative things? That means it's available for but as soon as we start the session
  • it'd be interesting to see how that how it interprets it so can you I think you can add an attendance feature in the experimental course.
  • So really, maybe you want to say for the first half of class you can be present and then
  • see, I would like to say you get to be present for the if you click on the first 25 minutes late if you click on the last 25 minutes, but it's not clear that that's what is being conveyed in the interface. Anyway, so this sounds like a good midterm question. stumped the van
  • 25
  • Yeah, so let's read the comment again. So it's not clear to me. So present might like to have that option. So I suppose if we set this, set it like this. Then the screen would come up with and we didn't just have
  • so another one that sticks out here is. That's another heuristic that seems to be because I can set things up here like it seems to me the system was helping me that it wouldn't let me make the status available for longer than the attendance is open. And I wouldn't be able to enter negative numbers would have a better explanation of what
  • perhaps is the valence. I have class objects because each category can have different so yeah, it doesn't make sense to make the present available outside of class but say absent that you can find yourself absent notes under class hours. If you're not in classes over, you can still Saturday or work their classes over you can say that you weren't there. It he said the timer for each different
  • that makes sense that he would still you could still get a participation. You should suffer you're still participating and marking yourself apps class
  • icon because when you access it has, of course instructor you can have options. That's the That's it. But does the icon also hide it from your interface? Because the no just said if you put zero in high school students
  • switch roles
  • Okay submit
  • attendance okay 45 minutes Yeah, sure. I think the minute that 25 minutes is working late. summaries are common right now. Maybe QR code. So much latency Oh
  • I thought we put 25 And I guess it didn't leave isn't available because I made it invisible excuses. So those two are not available in that I have apps as my other option
  • excused as a default option. It's an interesting default option considering itself mark so it's I've decided that I was excused on doing it up like yeah, you know what I think they would excuse me to put a password on that. So
  • you give them a password then they fix
  • themselves so it wouldn't be so, present option because it's not hidden, but it's it's not 40 minutes before class time. would be helpful to have a note there to say
  • you can only record if you're present. If you can 40 minutes before class or whatever it misinterprets imagery independent of that can or it could just not show it all. Anyway
  • because assuming this activity is only available once it's an option, it might ever be difficult. So maybe a preview or some kind of explanation. would be helpful. Okay, just checked the patient for oh, are you able to get one
  • that plays into consistency
  • that it might be because I can't believe present
  • maybe because they accept because
  • that started and people have chosen them. I mean people also test a theory
  • who can't be a class just to say they're absent.
  • Don't want to download a spreadsheet.
  • Maybe it is a few because as yourself as you can delete excuse me, so maybe if you just enter as a student.
  • So what I see is that there are only present and absent options in the data file. For in their responses that I've received so far. So that that seems to shoot down the theory that that we had data that's why we couldn't remove the option
  • well I just spent not today so it's okay
  • Evening Okay, so I invite your suggestions for questions, and you can suggest answers as well. If nobody suggests questions and answers that doesn't mean you won't have to
  • submit negative questions
  • if we submit a certain number of questions let's say 20. We know for sure that of those questions like the midterm questions will be one of those
  • Okay, so the midterm is going to be 50 minutes long in class. So chances are there won't be 20 questions.
  • Yeah, but I mean like, if we put a lot, a lot of work into this, then you can say okay, I will choose from these questions. Outside
  • What if we just have random questions from random others? Yes.
  • Okay
  • that could work. I wouldn't say random questions but you might find it example from another class we talked about interface design or our discussion about Unicode and jets on Friday might be a good source of questions.
  • For short answer
  • yes. So you can have different you're willing to Okay, so I said that. I believe that at the start a class you mentioned stores. I was just gonna say that. So let's end our formal portion of class now and a few minutes before we have to run off to your next class
  • should be or your groups Okay, so see you on Friday. Thank you for today and we'll see you on Friday. For presentation cool cool stuff. I think it's there's two people so anyway, thank you for today and I'll be here if you have questions.
  • should be or your groups Okay, so see you on Friday. Thank you for today and we'll see you on Friday. For presentation cool cool stuff. I think it's there's two people so anyway, thank you for today and I'll be here if you have questions.
