Creating a Lesson Assignment.
- Login to "Create/Grade A Lesson Assignment" with your school's ID number and Admin Password. A list of the UCLA USHS standards will display. Click a standard's plus box to display the benchmarks for that standard. Benchmarks which have lessons already prepared will contain a plus box and indicate the number of lessons at the end of the benchmark's description.
- Click the benchmark's plus box to open a new interface tab containing the lessons prepared for that benchmark. Read lesson descriptions to find a suitable lesson. Click a lesson's plus box to view the lesson's questions and answers (correct answers are checked). Review the articles containing the answers by clicking the PDF or TEXT image.
- Click a lesson's "Create" button to open a new interface tab containing the lesson. Enter your name. Enter your email address. Enter a password so you can retrieve student's answers and grades. If you forget your password you can request it be emailed to the address you entered. You do not need to use all of the questions on a questionnaire, check the questions you want to use.
- Click "Save Assignment". You will then be given a URL and Lesson Assignment Number to give to your students. You may use this lesson assignment for up to 180 days. Student answers are recorded for each assignment. You will have the opportunity to print each student's questionnaire and answers separately, plus a recap of the grades for all students participating in the assignment. You may therefore want to combine multiple classes on an assignment. If need to segregate the grading recap for different classes, create multiple assignments.
Retrieve Student Answers and Grades.
- Login to "Create/Grade A Lesson Assignment" with your school's ID number and Admin Password. A list of assignments for your school will display. Select your lesson and enterb your password.
- A recap of all partricipating students will display listing the number of questions, the number of correct answers, incorrect answers, and any skipped questions., and the students percentage of correct answers grade. Print each student's questionnaire for verification records. You can also print a recap of the entire list of students for easy entry into grading records.
STUDENTS
Doing the Assignment.
- "Login to lesson assignment" with the Lesson Assignment Number, school's ID number and School Password. Students need to enter their name and school's Student ID so their answers can be recorded.
- On the first visit for that assignment, the student must enter a password that can be used to re-access their questionnaire to complete the assignment if it is not completed on the first visit. Since Journey Back In Time never asks a student for their username for accessing their school's network, it is safe for a student to use their password for accessing their school's network. Students are encouraged to use that password since they will not forget it. The student ID and password submitted are included on the recap printout to verify who completed the questionnaire. On subsequent logins to the assignment the student will be prompted for their password so their questionnaire will contain previous answers they've submitted.
- The student can open the relevant article's PDF or TEXT file to read the article and find the answer to each question. Students are encouraged to click the "Submit" button each time they make a change on the questionnaire rather than waiting until they have completed the questionnaire to prevent loss from a dropped internet connection or other computer related problem. The questionnaire uses the "remote scripting" technique to keep the page from refreshing on each submission.
TEACHERS
Create A Study Plan Lesson.
Any teacher can create a Lesson - and any teacher can use any Lesson to create a Lesson Assignment. Lessons are deleted if the Lesson is used only once in a year after the Lesson's creation.
- Login to "Create/Edit A Study Plan". Open the "Select Standard Benchmark" tab and click the plus box of the Standard you want to teach. Click the plus box of the appropriate Benchmark.
- A new tab will open containing the articles associated with the selected Benchmark. Click the PDF image to view the article's PDF file. If a text version exists click the Text image to view the article's text version. Click the Summary image to display the article's summary. Clicking any of those three images will expose an "Add To Lesson" button.
- A Lesson tab will open. Enter a title for your Lesson. Enter a description (this can be changed as you build the Lesson). The description should be a summary of the Lesson to help teachers identify appropriate Lessons without reading the entire Lesson. Enter your name and your email address. Enter an Author's password so you can return and edit the Lesson later. If you forget your password you can request that it be emailed to the email address you submit.
- Enter your question and up to 5 answers. Check the correct answer. Click "Save Lesson". After the server confirms that the Lesson was saved, click the "Articles Associated With Benchmark" tab again.
- To add another question for the same article, click that article's "Add To Lesson" button again. To add a question referencing another article, open that article's Summary and click that article's "Add To Lesson" button. Repeat STEP 4. (To remove a question/answer block, remove all input for the question field and click "Save Lesson".)
- Teachers can remove any question from a Lesson when they create a Lesson Assignment to trim the questionnaire's size, or even to modify it's focus. You are therefore encouraged to add more questions rather that try to guess at an appropriate size for the questionnaire.
- As you save each question the notice from the server will display the Lesson Number. Make note of that number so you can return to edit the Lesson.
Change A Study Plan Lesson.
When a teacher uses a Lesson to create a Lesson Assignment, a copy of the Lesson is made and stored separately for that assignment. Edits made to a Lesson will therefore not effect existing Lesson Assignments.
- Login to "Create/Edit A Study Plan". A list of all Lessons authored by your school will appear. Each Lesson will list the teacher's name, the Lesson's Number, Title, date of creation, and Standard-Bechmark. Each Lesson will also show the number of times that Lesson has been used by teachers for creating Lesson Assignments.
- Select the Lesson to edit and enter the Author's password for the Lesson. Click "Continue".
- Two tabs will appear. The "Lesson" tab will contain the Lesson. The "Articles Associated With Benchmark" tab can be clicked to view the articles associated with the benchmark so you can add more questions to this Lesson.
- Click the "Save Above Lesson" to save any changes you make to the Lesson. Click the "Edit Another Lesson" to again view the list of Lessons authored by your school.
