THE INSTRUCTOR view allows you to perform all instructor duties involving courses and assessments, including creating class instances, inviting learners, and viewing class rosters, analytics, and scores.

To get to the Instructor Panel, click on the four squares in the top right-hand corner of the top navigation bar on any screen to reveal the dropdown menu and click on “Instructor.”

Basic Overview

Dashboard

Instructor Dashboard

The Instructor dashboard is the first screen you’ll be taken to upon entering the Instructor Panel. The dashboard defaults to the “Classes” dashboard, which displays a “Class Enrollments Overview” with analytics on learners who have been “Invited” to a class, who have “Accepted” or successfully enrolled in a class, and who are “In Progress” or have completed some but not all of a class. Below the class enrollment data are all of the class instances within the branch, including the class name, the collection/team it’s associated with, enrollment dates, and analytics on percentage of learners who have completed the class. Clicking into a class will take you directly to that class’s details.

Learner Dashboard

The Learners dashboard is accessed by toggling from “Classes” to “Learners” in the top left-hand corner of the dashboard—underneath the top navigation bar and right of the left-hand navigation bar—and displays all of the learners who have been invited to participate in any class in the branch. Included in each listing is the learner’s class instance, their progress bar (invited, accepted, or percent complete), and a menu to remove the learner or resend the invitation.

You can also create a class instance from the dashboard, which is discussed below in the “Creating a Class” section.

Classes

The “Classes” section under “Team Resources” in the left-hand navigation menu lists all the class instances created, including the class name, the collection/team it’s associated with, enrollment dates, and analytics on percentage of learners who have completed the class.

Clicking on any class will take you to the class’s details page, which displays all the learners invited to participate, their progress level, and a menu to remove learner or resend invitation. You can also access the class’s registration code by clicking “View more details” under the enrollment dates near the top left.

You can also invite learners from this section, which is discussed below in the “Inviting Learners” section.

Learners

The “Learners” section under “Team Resources” in the left-hand navigation menu lists all the learners invited to participate in any class in the branch. Included in each listing is the learner’s class instance (which links directly to that class instance’s details page), their progress bar (invited, accepted, or percent complete), and a menu to remove the learner or resend the invitation.

Class Management

Creating a Class Instance

To Create a Class Instance, navigate to either the Instructor Dashboard or Classes section in the Instructor Panel and click the “+Create Class” button near the top right. In the dashboard, it will be located in the top right corner underneath the “Class Enrollments Overview”; in the classes section, it will be located in the top right corner above the list of classes.

Clicking “+Create Class” will result in a popup screen that allows you to select a published course in the branch to create a class instance. To select a course, either scroll through the available courses or use the search feature in the top right corner by clicking on the magnifying glass and typing the course’s name, then click on the desired course you wish to build a class instance with.

After selecting a course, another popup screen will allow you to create your class. To do so, you must name your class, set a start and end date, add an optional class description, and click save at the bottom right of the popup window. This will take you to the new class’s details page where you can begin to invite learners.

Inviting Learners

To invite learners to a class instance, navigate to the class instance you wish to invite the learner to by either creating a new class instance (which will take you to the details screen) or finding and clicking on the class either in the dashboard or in the classes section. Once in the correct class instance, click the “+Invite Learners” button in the top right-hand corner of the “Learners” section on that page.

Clicking “+Invite Learners” will display a popup page to enter the email addresses associated with the learners you wish to invite. You can type them into the dialogue box by hand (making sure to separate each email address with a semicolon) or copy/paste a list of learners’ email addresses all at once (again, make sure the email addresses are listed on one line and separated by a semicolon). Once all the learners’ email addresses have been listed, click “Next” in the bottom right of the popup window.

Clicking “Next” will display another popup window with all the learners’ email addresses. Click the clipboard icon in the top right-hand corner of the display box to copy all of the learners’ email addresses, then navigate to your email service of choice, compose a new message, and paste the email addresses into the new message.

After you’ve copied the email addresses to your email service’s new message, navigate back to Capillary and click the “Next” button at the bottom right-hand corner of the popup window.

Clicking “Next” will display another popup window with another display box containing a pre-written message complete with the course name, instructor, and registration code for the class. Click the clipboard icon in the top right-hand corner of the display box to copy the pre-written message, then navigate back to your email service and paste the text in the body of the new message.

After pasting the text and customizing the message (optional) to your liking, hit send on the email, then navigate back to Capillary and click the “Done” button at the bottom right-hand corner of the popup window. Congratulations! You just created a class and invited learners to participate.
