Student Portal Updates
What are the changes?
Under Institution Config > Students > Portal you can now specify whether or not the Student can change/edit Profile Information like Address or Email, and if you want them to View their Attendance / Hours (this is for some schools that may not be using ampEducator for Attendance and/or Hours).
The Student Profile is now updated to match the overall ampEducator user interface with Details (contact details), Emergency Contacts, Programs and Payment Plans all on one page.
We have also added 'Agenda' on the Student Portal dashboard page. This shows any course events scheduled for the student + public events. (We will be adding Assignments and Tests soon and these will also show up on the Agenda).
We removed the Calendar from the menu bar and put it as an icon on the Agenda. It now also shows both the course + public events. (Note: Once assignment / tests are available they will show up on the calendar as well).
Student Portal Courses menu was also updated, Student now see View / Print Schedule, (Self) Enroll in Courses (if available) and then a list of Enrolled Course 1, Enrolled Course 2, etc. and All Enrolled courses. This was done to make the Courses section shorter and simpler for Students to understand.
The Course user interface was also re-done. When a Student clicks on a course they now see three tabs, Summary (course details, instructors w/images and contact info, grading, documents), Announcements and Results (Student Grades). This provides an area for more expansion into the Course feature set to include our upcoming Assignments & Tests (and other exciting options to come).
