CD Features: Teacher Utilities

Prompt
The teacher or student is prompted to type in their name. You need to let the computer know if you are a student or a teacher by clicking on the Teacher or Student button.  When Teacher is selected, you are prompted to enter an access code. This code is needed whenever the teacher wants to check student progress or change the level of instruction. 

Teacher login
Once the teacher has logged on correctly, he or she is given access to the student data bases and curriculum section of the software.  Here you can check student progress or set the curriculum length. 

Individual database
In this screen the information can be retrieved by either
the student's full name, their username, or the student's password.  Scores are kept for individual section of the CD and also scores for each activity. One unique item
that is found on the database is the elapsed time for each item. By examining the elapsed time, the teacher can see the length of time the individual student spent on each task. The final score for each student is also calculated.

Group database
Here you have access to a database containing information for all the students who have logged onto each individual computer.  Here you see their Name, Username, Password, and all scores on each quiz and activity.  Along with their average score. 

Curriculum
Here, the teacher has the choice of selecting a 12 class hour, 8 class hour, or 4 class hour presentation.  These are of course relative times and many students  will finish in less time than was suggested.  The 12, 8, and 4 hour selections are sequential programs and the students will need to follow a pre set path through the program. However, the teacher can select the free form format in which   there is no pre set path. It should be noted, however, that this free form format is designed for the teacher to explore the software freely, and should not be use by the students.  In the free form format, all record keeping is disabled and student progress is not tracked.
