Assignment List Order

With this process you are setting the order that assignment lists will appear on a student's screen. What the student can do at that point depends on the list settings you have chosen for that student. Because the settings can vary, the order of the lists may be a simple convenience for students who can move freely between lists, but can be critical to students who are limited to working with their lists in the order that they are presented.

Hint - It is critical to consider all of the ramifications of a setting before implementing it. For example, forcing a student to do assignment lists in order and then setting assignment list prerequisites can prevent the student from having access to any assignments (if the order is pointing to a specific assignment list but the student has not yet done a prerequisite list, found later in the order). A+LS provides you with unparalleled control over student users, but that same power can paint your student's into a corner. To minimize problems try out new settings on a test user before applying them to your real students.



Step-By-Step - Setting the Assignment List Order

Basically you highlight an assignment list in the large center text box and either move it up or down the list. Then you'll select and move the next list, and so on.

  1. Using the mouse, click on the first assignment list you want to move.


       •   If a scroll bar appears in the text box then it means there are more lists than can be shown in the box. Use the scroll bar to browse down until you find the correct selection, then click on it.


  2. Either, click on the Move Up button.

            OR

      Click on the Move Down button.


       •   Note that the selected assignment list moved in the button's direction. Any list can be moved with just a few clicks of the mouse.


  3. Highlight another assignment list and use the Move buttons to shift its position.


       •   Continue moving assignment lists until the order is as you wish it.


  4. Click on the Finished button to save your changes and return to the View or change a student's settings page.

            OR

      Click on the Cancel button to return to View or change usage settings for students.
