LON-CAPA Help

To set the course parameters for a selected user, it is recommended that you use the Parameter Helper. However, if you need to use the Table Mode, then do the following:

• Click PARM on the remote control.

• Click on the link to use the Table Mode.

• At the Set Course Parameter screen, type the username or id of the desired user. If you do not know the username or id, then click the Select User link.

• Select the Parameter level from the pull down menu. (See discussion of parameter levels in .)

• Select the enclosing map or folder from the pull down menu. If you choose course level you will skip this step.

• Click Set Course Assessment Parameters.

• For Course Level and Map Level parameters:
  • At the default value column, click "-" for the parameter you want to set for the selected user. A new window will open.

  • Update the selected parameter.

  • Click Store.

    The default value will now reflect the new parameter setting for the selected user. Parameter in Effect will reflect the parameter settings for all other users in the course. Repeat the previous three steps as necessary.

• For Resource Level:
  • Within the User ____ at Domain ____ column, click on the "-" for the parameter setting you want to assign. A new window will open.

  • Update the selected parameter.

  • Click Store.

    The Parameter in Effect column reflects the parameter setting that is in effect for the selected user. The last column reflects the value for your user name and does incorporate complete cascading within a problem for your user name. Repeat the previous three steps as necessary.

The parameters priorities are shown lowest to highest, left to right in the tables.
