iTRAC: Getting Ready for New Students

Between semesters or marking periods, teachers need to get ready for a new set of students.

NOTE: AES strongly recommends that teachers use Lab Setup section of the Course Guide to fully set up their lab. 



Option 1: Set up new classes for the new students

Some teachers prefer to create new class periods and keep existing students in their original class periods.

1.       In Lab Setup, open the Class Periods page.  

2.       In the top left toolbar, click the New Class Period icon.

3.       Enter the Period and Title.

4.       In the top left toolbar, click the Save Class Period icon.

5.       In the Course drop-down list, select  your class.  Your Class will display the modules loaded in your lab. 

6.       For each module you want to list in your Grade Book, click to select Show in Grade Book.

7.       In the top left toolbar, click the Save Class Period icon.


Option 2: Delete current students from original classes

Some teachers prefer to reuse class periods and do not need to archive existing student data. In this case, students need to be deleted from the system.

§         If you are not in the Grade Book area, open the Grade Book.

§         Click a student’s name. Or to select all of the students, click the Select All icon in the top toolbar.  

§         On the top toolbar, click Delete. WARNING: All student data, including files and grades, will be deleted from the system. Once deleted, there is no way to retrieve the data.


Option 3: Move students out of original classes into an archival area


Some teachers prefer to reuse class periods and archive student data. To reuse class periods and retain student data, students need to be moved from the original class.

§         If you are not in the Grade Book area, open the Grade Book.

§         Click a student’s name. Or to select all of the students, click the Select All icon in the top toolbar.

§         Right-click the name(s), and then click Remove Student(s)From Class.

§         Click Yes to move the student to the N/A class. NOTE: Students are not deleted from the system. Instead they are Unassigned to any classes, but still saved in the system.
