ARCHIVED: Oncourse Roster: Overview
What it does
The Roster tool displays the number of site participants along with their names, photos, and profiles.
Key concepts
Changing views: To see only members of specific groups or sections, use the
drop-down list. (This drop-down list will be visible only if groups or sections exist.)Viewing photos: To view personalized photos that participants of your site have uploaded, at the top of the "Roster" page, click
. On the "Pictures" page, instructors can toggle between personalized photos and official ID photos.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. See ARCHIVED: 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 ARCHIVED: Changing your privacy status or ARCHIVED: Why you may not appear in the roster of a
class for which you're registered. If you don't want your classmates
to be able to see your name, you can choose to be hidden; see ARCHIVED: Changing your privacy status.
Note: For newly combined course sections in Oncourse, 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 ARCHIVED: 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 ARCHIVED: Adding, removing, hiding, or reordering tools.
-
Note: Due to FERPA restrictions, AIs/TAs are only able to see student names and grades for people in their own groups (or sections, in combined sites). In regular (i.e., not combined) course sites with no groups created, AIs/TAs will not see any students in the Roster. To allow AIs/TAs to see student information, create a group for each AI/TA and add the AI/TA to that group. You can create a group containing everyone in the class, if necessary. See ARCHIVED: Managing groups.
