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.
