Figure 6.2: How do I Questions

The first page to appear when you log on to your Instructor Module account is a list of the courses currently set up in your Instructor account. Click on one of these courses to indicate that it will be the focus of your next actions. You can change the course you are working with at any time by using a menu of current courses just at the top of your Instructor Module page (labeled "My Course"). It is also possible to create a new course from this initial page, using the link at the bottom marked "Create a new course."

The first thing you will notice on the home page of the Instructor Module (called "How do I") is a brief list of the most common actions that you may wish to take (e.g., "Customize this course'). Click any one of these items to initiate the action.

Underneath this list is menu of questions. These questions correspond to a longer list of the most frequently performed operations in the Instructor Module, such as "How do I change someone's password?" or "How do I create a new instructor account?" By choosing the last item, "More," in the menu, or clicking "full list," you can see the entire list of questions, arranged by category (Fig. 6.2). These categories are also included in the links featured in the left-hand sidebar of the Instructor Module: "Course Admin," "College Admin" (Administrator), "Reporting," "Taking Actions," and "Advanced." Along with "How do I" (for the home page), these are available from anywhere in the Instructor Module.

The questions on "How do I" are simply a way of getting quickly to the tutorial descriptions found in the Instructor Module. For example, clicking on "How do I move a student from one course to another?" brings you to the page for "Move a student from one course to another," which can also be found by clicking the sidebar link for "Course Admin."

The "How do I" page contains an email link and telephone number for contacting ALEKS Corporation Customer Support. Questions and messages can also be sent directly to ALEKS Corporation Customer support using the Message Center links found on each page of the Instructor Module.
