Clicking on Create a New Class will display the
class creation wizard (Fig. 7.35).
Class Information
Administrators can assign the class to another instructor when setting up
the class. In the Class Information section the
only optional field is the section name. The course product should not be
changed after the class has begun unless absolutely necessary, as doing
so will be disruptive to the students' learning and to the class reports
and records. Other values on this page can usually be changed without
disruption.
The class dates are used to configure the Calendar,
and should include the entire period of time that the students will be
using ALEKS (Sec. 7.4.38). By
default, the class will be automatically archived after the class end
date unless this option is deselected
(Sec. 7.4.40).
QuickTables
QuickTables may be added to the class during the creation process or at
a later time. For full details about QuickTables, see
Chap. 6.
Course Specific Settings
These are any specific settings that apply to this class, such as
providing ALEKS graphing calculator functionality.
Accessibility mode for visually impaired students can be set at the class
level or student level. Turning on this setting will allow a visually
impaired student to use JAWS screen reader technology with ALEKS.
