The Class
labels displayed are copied from the school MIS system and are often different
from those in everyday use by Teachers and Students. We strongly recommend that
you use the Create a Workgroup box to rename the
whole Class for several reasons: - You
can label the teaching group with a name more recognisable to everyone in the
school.
- Learning
Platform tries to treat every
student assigned to a Course as a member of a single
Class - so if you share a Course
across a whole Year Group the class could seem to
have say 150 Students in it. Any Teacher linked to this 'Class' would see records
about all Students. By creating a Workgroup here
you can 'filter' Student lists more flexibly later on.
- You
can still create more 'normal' Workgroups (eg more
able / less able; wrens / bluebirds / sparrows) within these 'whole-Class Workgroups'.
- Also,
when you create a Workgroup,
Learning Platform
automatically creates a separate folder for Course Files
- so you could store easier worksheets for one group, say, and harder worksheets
for another,
