Instructor View
Instructor communications panel
The right panel holds the tools instructors use to stay connected and keep work moving: chat, calendar, and tasks.
Chat
The chat tab is topic-based. You can create separate conversations instead of keeping every message in one thread.
- Create a new chat topic from the top of the panel.
- Open a topic and rename it from the header.
- Send messages, react to messages, and reply by quoting earlier text.
- Add or remove participants when the conversation needs to change.
- Watch for unread indicators on both the right-panel tab and the topic list.
Calendar
The calendar is designed around assignments and due dates. It supports day, week, and month views so you can zoom in or out depending on the kind of planning you are doing.
- Move between day, week, and month views.
- Jump backward, forward, or back to today.
- Filter by active courses, all courses, or one specific course.
- Filter by student when you want to see dates through one learner's workload.
- Link filters to the current page selection so the calendar follows your current course or student.
- Use the calendar to spot busy weeks, overdue work, and course-by-course due date balance.
Tasks
The tasks tab is a flexible running to-do space. Instructors can keep personal lists or assign a full list to a student.
- Create a task list and give it a title.
- Open the list to add, edit, delete, or reorder task items.
- Mark tasks complete as work is finished.
- Assign a task list to one student when you want to give them a checklist.
- Unassign the list later if the list should return to you.
- Track who created the list and who it is currently assigned to.
