Getting Started
Before the Semester
- Set up a new Laulima course site
- Add tools
- Arrange tools in order
- Add your course content, materials, and activities using the Laulima tools. Some to start with include:
- Copy content from a previous Laulima course site into a new one
- After importing, you may want to arrange tools in the menu in a particular order.
- After importing, some of your content like announcements, forums, tests/quizzes and assignments will be saved as drafts. Check into each tool to edit, save, and/or publish the items, as necessary.
During the Semester
- Request assistance should you need Laulima technical help. You can find the "Request Assistance" link at the bottom of every Laulima page.
- Add a student or guest to your Laulima course site. Note: If a student added or dropped, do NOT add or remove a student from your Laulima site. Wait for Laulima to sync with UH Banner system. If it's still not updating, request assistance from Laulima Support.
- How to avoid problems with copying/pasting from Word or websites into Laulima's text editor.
- Tip: If students do not submit their assignments and you do not input a score, a dash will be marked by default; however, a dash does NOT count against the student's course grade. Instead, make sure to put zeros for items students didn't submit or receive a score for.
End of the Semester
- How to determine a student's last date of attendance
- Publish grades to UH Banner. (Important: Put zeros in the gradebook for assignments marked with a dash indicating that students did not submit or receive a score.)
- Export Gradebook
- Watch the video tutorial on using Laulima Gradebook Classic for the end-of-semester.
