What are the best file types to get students to upload to assignments that the teacher wants to mark electronically? I've tried a few and none seem to work.

Sorted thank you. My problem was that my image was more or less square, so I was making it the correct height, assuming the page would fill in the sides. But it wasn't. Changed the canvass size to the recommended one and it's perfect now. Thank you

Is there some trick to get the image on login the right size. I've used part of our logo and resized it to the correct resolution and file size, but it appears massive. While writing this, it's just occurred to me, do I simply change the canvas size?

Staff have been told that we expect that they set an assignment if their class has a lesson that day. Yr9 10 & 12 is fairly generic work (unless they have an AS this year). Some faculties already use sites like Hegarty, so they are just extending that. We did some CPD before everyone self isolated on how to use online sites to set self marking work and I'm producing "How To guides" on various methods of doing online lessons, either recorded or live (no-one's done a live one yet - chickens). They are using both Office and Google Classrooms alongside Frog in the same way we have since September. However, this has encouraged staff to attempt online marking and uploading of files..... Result! We've rushed out Teams for department meetings, with an expectation that they do a formal meeting at least once a week. Some Depts have gone mad with it and have a meeting at 3.00 every day. We've been using office365 since September and it's just doing it's thing, Some staff are still completetly in awe of working on a docment at the same time and really can't get their head around working in the Cloud (one long time PA has actually announced she is to retire because she's found it too confusing) Dept/House Heads are going to start phoning parents at the end of the week using data from the assignment monitor/reports. That reminds me, must put a request in for customisable reports with an export option.

Thank you, works a treat.

Is there a way of collecting all the files from a collections "file uploads" in one go? It's tedious going into each one and downloading them.

I thought that is how you might do it, but wanted to make sure before proceeding. Sorry I didn't explain the template question very well. I want to create my own layout. None of the standard ones is exactly what I want.

Hi I'm going through a redesign of the dashboards. I'd like to build them "off line" and then replace the current one when they're finished. Is this possible? Can you point me to some documentation on how to create my own layout templates for the dashboard pages. Thank you.

Thanks for all the help. Whatever I did with our data I was still getting the same problem, until I changed the Duration to Hrs & Mins. The JSFON conversion was removing the " however I formatted the data. Then it all worked perfectly. ?

Here's the first 2 students data { "Q933202808019": [ { "Date": "24/02/2020", "Time": "09:00", "ClassCode": "En", "CompTitle": "English Literature paper 1 - Shakespeare and the 19th Century novel", "Duration": 105, "Room": "Futures Exam Hall", "Seat Number": "" }, { "Date": "25/02/2020", "Time": "09:00", "ClassCode": "Fr", "CompTitle": "French - French Writing", "Duration": 120, "Room": "Northcote Exam Hall", "Seat Number": "" },

Thanks for the excellent instructions. Below is the screenshot.

Yes, I've downloaded and updated today, so assuming there isn't an old link kicking around, I should be bang up to date. Exams_Widget.mp4

Do we know why the "PDF" button isn't working/have a workaround?

Hi We're just about to use a new room booking system, followed by a parents evening booking system. They are an online cloud based app. To access it the user navigates to the correct web address and then enters a unique "Webcode", which identifies them. The system doesn't utilise SSO (yet) so the staff will have a unique, randomly generated code to lose. So, is there a way of attaching these webcodes to the users (the parents will have one when we get the parents evening system up and running) so it will be to hand when they click on the link in Frog to go to the site. I was looking at Paul Conkie's exam timetable widget and wondering if a much simplified version of that would work as it is a similar principal? I thought about using e-portfolios, but it would require a large amount of setting up as far as I could see. Cheers for any ideas.

Sorry, I really should learn to explain myself a bit better. I have been looking at this to see about how to develop it. On first inspection it seems quite nice, However, we are a secondary school and my first thought was getting rid of KS1,KS2 etc. to make it a bit sleeker. Then looking around I saw this post. Followed the advice on changing the settings, only to find that didn't work. Hence wondered what else wouldn't work. On looking at it, I think for us it would be a bit like Moodle in that it's a lot of work on something that nobody (OK maybe a couple of teachers) bothers to use.

Is curriculum designer fully functional yet? We're about to undergo a major review/change in school around curriculum and as that's an area of my responsibility alongside Frog, I thought I'd assess whether it would be a useful tool or not.

Cool. I was checking that method was safe. Where have these records come from, they look mostly old parents? Is there an end of year routine we're not doing properly?

We use Sims, but our data/exams manager is so fed up with its "quirks" that she has written her own database. She uses the "Exams Organiser" module to make sure that her team don't miss any entries through "Human Error", but exports the info to be manipulated in her own database. Rooming (we don't have an exam hall)/special access arrangements etc. This means it takes seconds to output the file for use in Paul's widget, she now has a query set up which creates the csv file with the correct headings etc. She was absolutely delighted with the result as it has cut out a massive amount of effort on her team's part as well as saving a small forest!

I was doing an exercise around our year 10 parents. I noticed that we have around 250 parents marked as "Inactive" and not MIS Linked. Is there a quick way of removing them to keep things tidy. Thanks

How did you individualize this? Looks like a great idea.

This is great. As usual However, I seem to have a problem with creating a pdf. Nothing happens when I click the button? I'm using Chrome as my browser. Also, if I use the User select widget, it's not giving me anything, maybe I don't have the later version, I've tried updating in Package Manager, but it says I'm up to date.

Thank you. Whatever you did it is working now. ?

It's on the staff dashboard, but it's currently hidden from everyone except admins. When you login is it as an admin?

I would love to use this, but I can't get ours to email out. Is there any way I can inspect the code for it to check why?

Thank you. Works a treat for us. Like you said, I hope this stops the tide of Parental phone calls/emails...
