Classlists

What is Possible with ICON’s Classlist Tool?

• View list of students, staff, and group members. Search for an individual.
• Add a participant to your course site.
• Track an individual’s grades and course usage (discussions postings, content viewed, assignments submitted, quiz results, surveys completed, rubrics and competencies completed, and checklist progress).
• View student homepages.
• View participant profiles (email address, phone, hobbies, goals, or other information students choose to enter).
• Send email to individuals or groups.
• View a report of the adds and drops in your course.

Notes:

• The default placement for the Classlist link in all new courses is a homepage widget titled "Course Tools." This widget is not visible to students or TAs, only to Instructor-Designers. In order for students to access the Classlist, instructors will need to place a link in the NavBar. See https://icon.uiowa.edu/support/onlinehelp/setup/customizing/ for help.
• In earlier versions of ICON, the management of groups was handled in the classlist. Now, there is a dedicated tool for groups. See the Online Help section Groups.

Enrolling Students, TA’s, and Instructor-Designers

Students who are officially registered for your class will be enrolled in your ICON course automatically (you don’t need to submit a registration request). ICON will continue to add and remove students daily, since it is updated by the OSIRIS database.

You can enroll additional people in your course and assign them student, TA, or instructor-designer status, provided they are members of the UI community (i.e., they have HawkIDs).

Note:  To request a guest account for a non-University individual, send email to icon@uiowa.edu.

To enroll an a student, a TA, or an instructor-designer in your ICON course using the Classlist tool:

1. From the Course Home, click Classlist in the Course Tools widget or the Navbar (if you've placed it there so students can access it).
2. Click Add Participants.
3. To add one user at a time, click Add an existing user.
   1. Under Add Existing Participant, in the Search for: box, type the HawkID or the person’s name (this can be the first or last name or even part of a name).  Then click Search. The search results will appear in the list below.
   2. Select the person you wish to add to your ICON course.
   3. From the Role droplist, select Student, Instructor-Designer, TA(high-level), or TA(low-level).

Note: Both high-level and low-level TA ‘s can manage communication tools, view and grade quizzes, and enter grades in the gradelist.  High-level TA’s can also customize communication tools, customize the gradelist, and add course content materials.

4. Click Enroll Selected Users. You will see a confirmation that the user has been correctly added. Click Classlist to see your entire list, including your newly added user.

If, when enrolling a participant, you mistakenly assign the wrong role (e.g., you enroll a TA as a student), you must delete and then re-add the participant. You cannot unenroll users through the Classlist; you must use the User Enrollments link in the Edit Course area. See the Online Help section Adding/Removing Participants.)
