Setting_up_the_Gradebook

Recently there has been a big bug within Angel making the gradebook to malfunction with its horizontal scroll bar. As most of the time this bug has affected Internet Explorer due to its render engine (WebKit). We have found that Firefox has been a good solution, but there is a little feature that could prevent a user from seeing this scroll bar. Here is the Firefox issue:

Below is a screen capture of the gradebook with this feature on; the “Find” tool bar at the bottom. If the users screen resolution is not high enough to render the page smaller then the overall browser window it will place this toolbar over the horizontal scroll bar. Note: If you have just recently updated to Firefox 5 (same result in previous version: 4), there will be tool bar open just like the “Find” but with just a little “x” on the left hand side. Just click on this button. Same goes for the “Find” toolbar.

Before:

The next image shows the “Find” feature off revealing the horizontal scroll bar.

If a user is experiencing this in Internet Explorer, then another method would have to be done. Since Internet Explorer renders webpages differently then all the other browsers,  what happens it that the page is being rendered bigger then the browser window. Try using the shortcut: Ctrl+- (holding the control and the pressing the minus key on the keyboard).  Or alternatively: Holding down the Control key and spinning the middle mouse wheel up (3 button mouse with a wheel). This method will also work with Firefox.

After:

You must use the same login as RiverNet or Webmail NOT the web-grading password.
If you are having trouble accessing Angel, try going to Webmail enter your email and password. Failure there means that you have probably locked yourself out of your RiverNet account and need to either wait out the lock-out period or contact the RiverNet helpdesk (not the E-Learning helpdesk, they cannot help with RiverNet passwords.)

Roster Sync can be an extremely useful tool in Angel.  This is useful if teaching multiple sections of the same course.  It allows you the ability to import the rosters of one or more courses into one main course.  All students will access only one course and your grading can be in one main course.    This PROCESS SHOULD BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE SEMESTER or PRIOR TO STUDENTS BEING LOADED INTO CLASSES.

How to Use the Roster Synchronization:
