    While we're on the subject and no promises, but there's some other terminology in the assignments system we're debating over changing.   Any thoughts would be appreciated - but being realistic - i think being able to relabel these in System Preferences is probably not viable:

    Current
    Proposed new term
    Notes
    Close assignment

    Close assignment and show marks

    or

    Set assignment as closed

    		 
    Force hand-in

    Mark as handed in

    or 

    Set handed-in status

    		 

    Return Assignment

    Send back to student for further work

    or

    Return to student and set as 'not handed-in'

    		 
    Skip

    Next Student

    or 

    Next indivudual

    		Next and Skip on their own imply next action rather than next in the list

    It's a shame that it's unlikely each school would be would be able to customise, but understandable that this would be tricky.  Perhaps, just the word 'Work' rather than assignment as a middle ground for everyone. Then that would cover work set in a classroom setting or out of class for homework?

    To me, most of the proposed new terms are too wordy.  If the term was going to stay as 'Assignment' then the following make the most sense to me -

    Close assignment

    Collect assignments

    Return assignment

    Next Student

    Pulling Data from SIMs to Display Certificates

    in Learn / Play / Progress

    Posted

    We use the achievements and behaviour section on SIMS that pulls through to Frog via the behaviour totals and the behaviour summary widgets.  On a students page we show their totals, and then the summaries for positive behaviour only.  On a parent page we show the totals and the summaries for both positive and negative.  Admittedly not as fancy as a lovely certificate which I'd love to show, but means its all automated and no one has to do anything extra.  Teachers add the points from a customised list of categories via their registers.

    Would be a good idea for this to be changed individually for schools at some point in the future without HTML.  Each school calls homework something different, for example here we called in Home Learning. 

    If you put this at as idea @gbligh let me know and I can add a vote. :D

    Behaviour Points - Sims updates not reflected in Frog - how do you deal with this?

    in General chat

    Hi Ann,

    I just have to go in manually and delete behaviour information if it's incorrect, but because my job deals with both behaviour and Frog it's pretty easy for me to manage this on the rare occasions it happens.

    I don't really know of any cases where staff have removed achievement points, so this hasn't really been an issue generally speaking.  I did have a case where some staff members used the incorrect category which gave more points than they should have awarded, and again I had to fix these manually, and then doing the manual import as above.

    I am very interested that this is being looked at to be an automatic thing though as it would save time, and mean that retrospective information would also be added, if staff haven't added anything on the day itself. Will keep an eye on this thread for more. Thanks

    We haven't done this, but I'm hoping others might have to get some ideas.  I am always looking at ways to get things more organised and keep things up to date, and sometimes it's useful to hear how others are tackling this sort of thing. 

    Form Widget

    The "hide field" option for the freetext field was not something I was aware about, but I have managed to replicate it on my local dev instance. I have raised it with the support desk and will update you on this matter tomorrow.

    @Aimée13

    The "click to edit label" empty field is due to the richtext field you can drag onto a form being exported with the rest of the data.

    I don't believe the fix I've put in for that will be in the patch but it will be in the release after that for sure.

     

    In regards to the data cut-off, could you give me the name of the form so I can investigate further?

    Hi Ashton,

    I thought that might be what the empty field was, but as I say wasn't too worried about that as I can just delete the empty columns after export.  Happy to know a fix is on the way though.

    I haven't experienced the data cut off as @ADT mentioned as I was just testing the form with one submission that I put through, I hadn't allowed a new layout form to be public.  My data was just all over the place in the export compared to the layout when using the two or three column options.  I don't have a form saved in this way as I had to revert it back to being all under one column.

    This is the first I'm hearing of it. I'll be sure to have a look and update you tomorrow.

    Thank you for raising this.

    Thanks - seems that there should be more of an order to get the results.

    I also get the 'click to edit label' that @ADT gets, but I was less worried about that, than the random order of exported data.

    Hi all,

    I was just trying to put together a form using the new layout options and date picker etc, but there seems to be no particular order in which the information gets exported out in.  I tried a couple of different times adding in questions in different orders etc to get them to export in the way that I wanted, but the Excel export had information at the end, for questions that were at the top of the form, and where I had used two or three columns in a form, there seemed to be no specific order for them to be on the export.

    Any ideas?

    Also, I called the support desk re the file upload bug, and was told I would be added to a ticket for the updates, but I haven't had an email about it yet.

    Thanks

    How are others using e-portfolios?

    in General chat

    Posted

    Hi all,

    Just wanted to ask how other's are getting on with e-portfolios and see how other schools are using them.  We have just launched a small amount in three classes with the drama department as a pilot.  The teachers are a little nervous about them, but I have been in the launch sessions and have felt that the students are really on board with them.  They are using them as a blogging feature and a replacement of their written work books to encourage them to upload files, photos, and reviews to do with their drama sessions.  How are you using yours? 

    The only thing I have found tricky so far is the limited bulk editing options after they have been created.  I think it would be useful to have some extra options, for example if we wanted to add a new tab on to an existing portfolio, or add in new widgets etc.  I have created this as an idea on the portal, and it would be great to get some more votes if you think it would be helpful too. https://ideas.frogcommunity.com/ideas/FRG-I-1271

    Hi,  I added these videos to my platform when you kindly posted the coding up for them, but not they no longer show up.  Has the coding changed? Thanks

    Notice board widget changes

    Hey Aimee13, I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean, can you give an example? 

    Sorry, I didn't really explain myself very well. :S Basically I'd like to show the same notice board on two different pages.  I was just wondering if we might have an option to have that notice board only exist in one place, but have it display elsewhere as well without the noticeboard being on it's own site and then embedding that site into multiple pages.  In the same way that all sites have a tag option and we can then have particular sites show in a site list. Could a notice board have a tag and then have an option on another page 'show XXX notice board'.  I hope that makes a bit more sense?? o.O

    Themes

    Hi,

    Just wondering what I might be doing wrong.  Downloaded a new theme from the Frog Store yesterday. Got a notification to say it was downloading, and then another to say it was finished.  I can't find it on my list of themes. :S

    Also wondering if there is a way to remove themes from our list if we don't want them anymore?

    Thanks

    Hi @Aimée13

    No need to get anything.  ePub files uploaded to FrogDrive will open the reader when you double click the file.  (There is no ePub widget I'm afraid, you do have to embed a shared folder if you want lots on a page)

    Ah perfect! Makes sense now re watching the video :D

    Hi Aimee13

    I though it would be easy to add another preference in for this.  But its actually proving quite difficult.  I'll have another go when i get a chance.

    Thanks

    Paul

    No worries Paul!

    Thanks for them though they are great
