The Faculty/Student Assignments part provides a way for faculty and students to see the current week’s assignments, special calendar events, and upcoming assignments. After you add the part to faculty and student pages, faculty and students select to a list or details view of assignments. In the list view, for each day in the current week, the date, class name, and assignment name appear. In the details view, for each assignment, a description and, if uploaded, assignment documents appear. Below the assignments, in either view, a link to view all upcoming assignments appears. When faculty and students view all upcoming assignments, they can view and print assignment information. Assignment information includes the assignment name, description, and any assignment documents for the current session.
In addition, faculty members view two icons besides the class name. The icons open the Faculty Access for the Web assignment set up and the grades pages.
If you enable assignment dropboxes in Faculty Access for the Web, when students access the part and an assignment has a dropbox submission, they can click a link to turn in assignments on the class page. After a student uploads a document for the assignment, the filename and date appears.
Tip: To link the Faculty/Student Assignments part to the assignment set up and grades page in Faculty Access for the Web, you must configure the link between Online Campus Community and Faculty Access for the Web. For more information, see Link to NetClassroom and Faculty Access for the Web.
If you configure the Faculty/Student Assignments part to access class documents, faculty members and students can view and download documents for assignments. To provide the ability to view and download assignment documents, you must enter the host location for documents in NetClassroom and Faculty Access for the Web. You configure this in the web.config files and setup when you install Faculty Access for the Web. The default location to downloadable documents is C:\Program Files\Blackbaud\Downloadable Documents. For more information, see the Administration Guide for Faculty Access for the Web.
Assignments information integrates from Gradebook in Faculty Access for the Web. Event calendar information integrates from Configuration in The Education Edge.
