DASHBOARD

For an overview of upcoming deadlines in all your LMS courses, from the Navigation tray, select

Dashboard. This page lists all of the courses you are currently enrolled in and allows you to

quickly navigate to new assignments as you can see in Figure 7. You can also customize this page

and add additional blocks to the right side, to help you stay organized.

COURSE LAYOUTS

Courses in LMS are usually organized in two or three columns. These columns contain Navigation

tray, blocks that are often customizable and topics where your lecturer will post content and

assignments for your course. There are several layouts in the LMS page as follows:

Three-Column Layout – In most courses on a laptop or desktop computer, you'll see a three-

column layout as shown in Figure 7. The center column is where your lecturer will post

information about the course, links to resources and assignments and other activities you'll

Navigation tray

Course List

be doing on LMS. This main course content is contained in expandable Sections which may

be organized by week or by topic.

Two-Column Layout – On occasion, you may see a course page with a two column layout. This

works exactly the same as a three column layout except that Navigation tray is toggled in.

Mobile Layout – On smaller screens such as a phone or small tablet, the page layout will

rearrange for easier viewing: Blocks (Resources, Activities, Calendar, etc.) will move to the

bottom of the screen below the main course content.

TIPS ON SUBMITTING WORK

You are advised to submit the assignment on time. You are required to click on the Assignment

that has been uploaded by your lecturer as seen in Figure 7. The Assignment Submission Page

will be displayed as in Figure 8.

In LMS, your lecturer may close assignments and not allow late submissions, so don't expect to

be able to electronically submit an assignment past the deadline. Look for a confirmation screen

to make sure your assignment is submitted. This might look different depending on the kind of

assignment. Know which file formats your lecturer will accept (.pdf and .doc are usually

preferred).

VIEW YOUR GRADES

On the course page, in the Navigation tray toggle, click Grades as shown in Figure 10. The User

report page opens to show all graded activities where your grades have been released, as well as

feedback from your instructor (if any). Remember, instructors can control when you see grades

for specific activities, so if you do not see all your grades, they are probably hidden until your

instructor opens them to you.

At the bottom of the list of graded activities, you may see, if your instructor has released it, your

Course total (a running total of your current standing in a course). Depending on how your

instructor set up the gradebook, scores may be displayed as points, as percentages, as letter

grades, or a combination thereof.

ONLINE CLASSES IN LMS

Online classes in the LMS use BigBlueButton, which is an open source web conferencing system

for online learning. BigBlueButton supports real-time sharing of slides (including whiteboard),

audio, video, chat, emoji, breakout rooms, and screen. It also records all content for later

playback.

The BigBlueButton plugin enables you to Create multiple activity links to online sessions within

any course Restrict students from joining a session until a lecturer joins the session Launch

BigBlueButton in a separate window Create a custom welcome message that appears at the

top of the chat window when joining the session Specify join open/close dates for the session

that appears in the LMS’s calendar Record a session and Access and manage recordings.

To join online session, click on the BigBlueButton link as shown in Figure 11. Then, the window

Test your audio by speaking a few words and listening for the sound of your voice. See the screen

shot below for a visual of the Echo test window. The Echo test will ask you to speak and then play

back your words.

Click Yes if the audio test has been successful (for example: you were able to hear yourself speak

through the headset speakers). Click No if your audio test was not successful. You can then

check that you have selected the appropriate microphone and that your microphone is plugged

in correctly.

o Note: Click No if you have more than one microphone and BigBlueButton is

using the wrong one. A new menu will appear and you can select the correct

microphone from the drop-down menu. You can then re-attempt the audio

test.

Figure 13: BigBlueButton Testing Page

You are now successfully setup to begin your BigBlueButton session as shown in Figure 14. There

are three types of users: Viewer Presenter and Moderator in a BigBlueButton session.

Moderators (Lecturer) are represented by a square icon and viewers (Students) are represented

by a circle. The Presenter role is indicated by an additional, small podium icon in the top, left

hand corner of Users icon.
