Oncourse CL Roster: Overview
What it does
The Roster tool displays both the number of site participants and their names, photos, and profiles.
Key concepts
Changing views: To see only members of specific groups or sections, use the "View" drop-down list. (This drop-down list will be visible only if groups or sections exist.)
Viewing personalized photos: To view personalized
photos that participants of your site have uploaded, at the top of the
Roster page, click Pictures.
Viewing profiles: To view someone's profile, click the person's name.
Things to consider
- The Roster tool does not allow you to add or remove participants
from your site. To do this, you must use Site Setup. For more
information, see Adding, editing, or removing participants.
- If you're a student who has registered
for a class, your name should appear along with the names of your
classmates. If you don't see your name, see Changing your privacy status or Why you may not appear in the roster of a class for which you're registered.
Note: Students at Indiana University Bloomington cannot see their classmates by default, due to a decision by the IUB Office of the Registrar. Students at other IU campuses can see their classmates, except for those who have invoked their FERPA rights; those names will be hidden.
Note: For newly combined course sections in Oncourse CL, the initial privacy status for instructors and all students is brought forward from the original course section. If the initial privacy status is set to hidden, instructors will be able to see their students, but students will not see their instructors or other students. See Changing your privacy status.
- If you don't see the Roster tool listed in your site's menubar, the site owner may have chosen not to use it. Site owners can add the Roster tool using Site Setup. For instructions, see Adding, editing, or removing tools.
