Printing Class Lists new for 2016-17

As we start a new school year, you may want a printed roster of your students.  In an older post, I described how to do this in different ways.  We are no longer able to use GradeQuick, however Moodle, MMS and JumpRope all have the capability.

Here's how to do it in JumpRope, which is the quickest method, but is less flexible than the Moodle method below:

1. Click the Courses tab
2. Choose the course
3. Choose Print Roster from the pull-down menu.

This will produce a pdf file of your roster, with 5 blank columns for recording data.  You can create more columns the old-fashioned way (i.e., using a pen and a ruler).

Here's how to do it in Moodle, which is a few more clicks but allows you more control.

1. Open your class page.
2. Click "Grades" in the Administration block.
3. If you have your class set up in groups, you can choose just the group desired, or all participants.
4. From the "Choose an action" drop-down list, Choose "Export -- Excel" (you may have to scroll to see it).  See 1st pic below.
5. If you wish, you can specify exactly what data is exported, but it's easiest to just hit "Submit," then "Download."
6. Open in Excel or Google Sheets, then delete columns that you don't need (you can also add/delete students)
7. On the top row, go over to the last column that you would like to print and enter any character in that cell 
8. When printing the spreadsheet, choose "Show Gridlines." It will print a grid up to the column you specified in the step above.

In Excel or Google Sheets

Removing/Adding students/colleagues in a Moodle course

Many teachers like to add colleagues as either editing or non-editing teachers.  You may also notice that you occasionally have students in your Moodle classes who have dropped the course. It's a pretty quick process for you to manage enrollments yourself. Here's how:

REMOVING PEOPLE (Including yourself when you are not currently teaching a course):
Click Users...Enrolled Users in the Administration block.
Click on the X to the extreme right of the person you wish to remove (you can also remove yourself from a course you are not currently teaching*).

*Note that only teachers can enroll/unenroll, so if you are a "student" in another teacher's course, that teacher will need to remove you.

ADDING PEOPLE
Click Users...Enrolled Users in the Administration block.

Click on "Enroll Users."

Choose the role (Student, Non-editing teacher, etc.).
Type in the first few letters of the person's name in the search box.
Click Enroll.

Continue with others, as necessary, then click "Finished Enrolling."

How to print class lists

The easiest way to print a class list is via Moodle:

1. Open your class page.
2. Click "Gradebook" in the Administration block.
3. If you have your class set up in groups, you can choose just the group desired, or all participants.
4. From the "Choose an action" drop-down list, Choose "Export -- Excel" (you may have to scroll to see it).
5. If you wish, you can specify exactly what data is exported, but it's easiest to just hit "Submit," then "Download."
6. Open in Excel, then copy and paste the names from there.
