Campus lesson plans and homework in the course player

With SmartMy Campus, a teacher turns a lesson plan into an online lesson in one step. A lesson can also point to a Campus homework that the student opens from the player.

The problem it solves

  • The topic is planned in the lesson plan and typed again in the LMS.
  • Homework sits in one place and the online lesson in another, so students miss one.
  • Coordinators cannot see which planned lessons have online material.

How it works

  1. On a lesson plan in Campus, a teacher with the Learn Author role presses Make Online Lesson.
  2. An article lesson is made with the plan's title and text, in the subject group's published or draft course. A draft course is made when there is none.
  3. The plan's Online Lessons tab lists the lessons made from it, and the lesson's Lesson Plans tab shows its plans.
  4. To link homework, choose the Campus Homework on the lesson.
  5. In the player the student sees the homework's title and due date. Open the Homework takes them to their homework page in the portal.

Questions

Is the new lesson seen by students at once?

If the subject group's course is already published, yes: the lesson is added to it straight away. Finish the text soon after, or make it in a draft course.

Does homework move into Learn?

No. Homework stays in Campus. The lesson shows it and opens the student's homework page, where they hand it in.

Can parents open it?

The button opens the homework page of the signed-in student. Parents see homework in the Campus portal and app as before.
