How can a student change their email address if the system has an old one?

Isidore, by default, will only send mail to a Lotus Notes email address. If you wish to have your mail forwarded to another account, you can navigate to http://address.udayton.edu, login with your LDAP account information, and forward your Lotus mail under the 'Mail Forwarding' section.

Note: All mail sent to your University of Dayton email address will be sent on to the address you supplied when you enable Mail Forwarding.

How can I add or remove students to my site?

Instructors can add students/TAs/other instructors to their sites by clicking on the 'Site Info' tool and clicking on the 'Add Participants' link.

How can I create a test student account?

Please contact the E-Learning Lab at e-learning@notes.udayton.edu or 229-5039 if you would like to have a 'test' student account to use in your Isidore site. The test student account allows you to log into Isidore with student privileges and view your site as a student would. It's a great way to test components in your site to make sure they are working as expected.

Can I add a guest to my Isidore site?

Instructors may request guest accounts for their Isidore sites. Often time's professors ask outside professionals to visit their class Isidore site to participate in forums or chat sessions. This is a great idea to add some real-world validity to class topics. Since these guests don't have UD LDAP accounts they need a 'manual' Isidore account created for them to gain access to the class site. To request a guest account, email the guest's full name and email address along with brief explanation and usage dates to e-learning@notes.udayton.edu.

Can I change a participant's role in my site?

There are three roles in all Isidore sites: Instructor, Teaching Assistant, and Student and a site participant can hold any role depending on your needs.
To change participant roles:

1. In the menubar of the relevant course site or project site, click Site Info.
   
   
2. Next to the participant(s) whose role(s) you want to change, select the appropriate role(s) from the drop-down menu(s) under "Role".
   
   
3. Click Update Participants.

What does "inactive status" mean?

If a site participant is listed as 'inactive' it means they can't access your site. The participant is still a member of your site but they can't access it – either permanently or until you are ready for them to. Course rosters are added approximately 20 days before the beginning of the semester but are 'inactive' until two days before the semester begins. This allows instructors to see their rosters in the site and create groups, if necessary, without students accessing the site early.

How do I create 'groups' in my site?

Instructors can create groups in their classes using the Manage Groups link found at the top of the Site Info tool. Groups are a great way for instructors to divide their classes up for specific assignments, announcements, quizzes, and forums. Groups can be created and updated at any time in a site as participants add or remove classes.

Can I import content created in another Isidore site?

Yes. Content from Isidore sites can be imported into other Isidore sites using the 'Import from site' link found at the top of the Site Info tool. The 'Import from site' functionality allows instructors to easily import content on a tool-by-tool basis.
