In this tutorial we will be taking a look at the four additional functions that are included in the PSYCHEXP for Education plan:
STUDENT DASHBOARD: Projects you assign to your students are all accessible from the student dashboard. Just one simple URL !!
CLASS ADMIN: Group your students into classes and assign projects you have created to each class with one single click.
GROUP ADMIN: Create a survey or experiment and invite a student to collaborate on the project from their student dashboard.
PORTFOLIO ADMIN: Build a learning portfolio to help your students self-evaluate and reflect on their own learning outcomes. Each student can access the portfolio from their student dashboard.
LESSON ADMIN: In lesson admin you are able to create an online lesson (e-book) that includes quiz question functionality.
In class admin you are able to group your students into classes and then assign projects to the class.
Any project you assign to the class will be accessible to the students in that class in their student dashboard.
To create a new class, enter the class name and click "SUBMIT".
Once you have created the class, click on OPEN to go to the class home screen.
On the class home screen, you will see two sections, the project section and the class members section.
In the class members section click on the "ADD STUDENTS" button to add the email address of the students you wish to add to the class.
Once you have added the students you will see their current student dashboard status in the "NAME/VERIFIED" column.
: The student has previously logged in to the student dashboard
: The student has not previously logged in to the student dashboard
NAME DISPLAYED: The student has updated their name on the student dashboard account settings page
The URL your students will need to log in to the student dashboard is displayed under the add student button. (https://psychexp.com/student/)
Once you have assigned the students to the class, you can then assign the class one or multiple projects.
To add a project simply select it from the dropdown list and then click add project.
Any project on your account dashboard that you created by clicking the "ADD NEW PROJECT" button will be displayed in the dropdown list.
When you add a project to the project section it will automatically be displayed in the student dashboard of all the students you have added to this class.
The student can then click the OPEN button that is displayed to open and participate in the survey or experiment.
In group admin you are able to invite students to work together with you on the building of any project that you have created. Students you add to the project in the group admin section will automatically have access to the project by logging in to their student dashboard.
Any project you add students to automatically becomes a group project and displays a green "Group Project" banner in the list of projects displayed on the "Dashboard" page. Deleting all the students from the group project automatically converts the project back to a standard project and the green "Group Project" banner will no longer appear.
You can add students to any project you have already created, or if you would like to create a new project to add students to, firstly click the "Add project" button which will take you to the "Add New Project" page. Once you have created the project return to the "Group Admin" page, select the project you created from the dropdown list and then add one or more students.
In order to add students to your project click on the “Add Students” button and enter the email address of your students.
The students you add can now access the project at any time by logging in to the student dashboard using the email address you added.
Your students can access and edit all aspects of the project in the same way as you can, however they do not have access to the duplicate project function page.
In order to access the project yourself, go to the dashboard, find the project in the list and click on the "OPEN" button.
A group admin project is edited in the same way a standard project is edited, by clicking the “EDIT PROJECT” button. For guidance on how to edit a project please refer to our “Getting Started Tutorial”.
In portfolio admin you are able to create a learning portfolio to help your students self-evaluate and reflect on their own learning outcomes.
To create a new learning portfolio, enter the portfolio name and click "SUBMIT".
Alternatively, you can click on the import button to import the learning portfolio template and then modify it to suit your needs. The standard template consists of a self-assessment based on a rubric (evaluation criteria chart) and includes comment fields for the student to record the reasons for their assessment.
Once you have created the learning portfolio, click on OPEN to go to the portfolio home screen.
In the portfolio members section click on the "ADD STUDENTS" button to add the email address of the students you want to complete the learning portfolio. Students you enter will be able to access the portfolio from their student dashboard.
You can edit the portfolio by clicking the “EDIT PORTFOLIO” button. For guidance on how to edit a project please refer to our “Getting Started Tutorial”.
In lesson admin you are able to create an online lesson (e-book) that includes quiz question functionality. The quiz questions can be set to either practice or test mode.
