A user can look at previous, current , and future classes by clicking “Main Menu” for the current classes. “Previous Classes” are under the Instructor Tools heading. Future or "Upcoming Classes" are also viewed under the Instructor Tools or clicking on the link under the list of Current Classes. The Instructor Class Tools will become visible once a specific class is chosen.
1. Edit Class - Make changes to any details of the class.
2. Cross Listings – if a class is referred to by more than one Course Number, Class Name, Section/Class Number, or is shared between more than one department a user can add cross-listings so their student users will have an easier time finding the class.
3. Delete Class - You will be asked to verify that you want to delete.
4. Clone Class – A class, including its items, can be “copied” from one semester to another by an instructor user to save time recreating classes and items that are offered more than once.
5. Class Proxy User – Instructor users (and their Full Proxy Users) can add a Class Proxy User who will have the ability to add items to a class. This does require the proxy user to first have set up their own Ares account and the instructor needs to know the username.
6. Authorized Users – Users authorized to access the items in a class can be added or removed.
7. Chat
8. MessageBoard
9. Add Reserve Items – Click link for more details.
10. Reserve Item Usage – An instructor/Proxy User can view whether or not the item has been viewed. This is set by the Ares Administrator to be either detailed (the user and ID info is shown) or generic (only the number of views for each item is shown).
