SLATE’s Self-Service provides users with greater flexibility to manage their learning environment. It is a set of services accessed by clicking the Self-Service logo on the SLATE homepage.
Current capabilities include adding a demo student to workbenches and course offerings, creating and managing development workbenches, activating and deactivating course offerings, and creating virtual communities.
Features of Self-Service:
Manage Courses
This lets you see a list of all your course offerings, workbenches, virtual communities, and course commons within the learning environment. From here, you will be able to:
- Add, delete, or rename development workbenches and virtual communities.
- Activate/Deactivate Courses
- Add demo students
- Enrol users in Virtual Communities
Demo Students
Currently, SLATE provides functionality to role-switch to a student to test the course offering from the student’s perspective. However, this feature does not allow you to test grade entries or complete quizzes. Adding a Demo Student to your development workbench or course offering lets you impersonate the demo student and try these features.
