To view and add homework in Edulink One, log in to the Edulink One app or website. Once logged in, click on the Homework<\/strong> icon <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Homework tab<\/a> must be configured before use in the Administration settings. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"Homework

The Homework window opens to a table with tabs outlining Current<\/strong> (homework), Past<\/strong> (homework) and (homework) Report<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Homework<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Current<\/strong> tab displays the homework that is set in the present. The columns state the Due Date, Name<\/strong> of homework, Subject and Class<\/strong>, date Set<\/strong> and Learners<\/strong> button. It also allows you to Edit<\/strong>, Remove<\/strong> or Clone<\/strong> homework. <\/p>\n\n\n

Another window opens, providing details of the homework set, including the teacher, submission type (if online or not), a description of the task, grade and feedback for the task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To close the window, click the X in the top right corner. <\/p>\n\n\n

Learners Column<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ‘Learners’ button within ‘Current<\/strong> homework’ allows teachers to view whether the learners have completed the homework task or not. Click on the button to view the learners. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The table in the window contains the learners in the class (first name and surname) and whether or not they have completed the homework (green check for yes and red X for no). Additionally, there is a column where the teacher can select if they received the homework and whether there is an issue, such as an incomplete piece of work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can now choose whether you would like to filter by first name or surname, so your homework mirrors your marksheet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/a>f you click on the ‘Issue’ icon (exclamation point), a green ‘Success’ message appears. The settings Enable homework issues<\/strong> and Homework issues as incomplete<\/strong><\/a> need to be enabled in the administration area before use. Then, the teacher can access this function to record ‘issues’. The homework will be marked as incomplete in the reporting function of Homework<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have finished recording the homework, press OK to return to the Homework<\/strong> page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learners Column When Using Teams<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you are using Teams for homework, the user interface is virtually identical to most aspects of the Edulink One user interface; however, if you click on the ‘Learners’ <\/strong>button when you are looking at current or past homework, the screen does not have a ‘Received’ or ‘Issue’ column. The homework is automatically marked as complete the students upload it to Teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can edit a piece of homework by clicking the pen icon<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n

You can change the homework description, add further attachments or links, or use the typography settings to customise your homework further. <\/p>\n\n\n

Cloning Homework<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cloning is an extremely useful tool if teachers would like to set similar homework if they teach classes in the same subject and Year Group, or if they would like to reuse a past assignment (available in Past<\/strong> tab). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To clone a piece of homework, teachers should press the Clone<\/strong> icon. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

If you select the class here, you will still need to select the class and learners on the next screen.<\/p>\n\n\n

To select the learners, you can filter by Name, Year, Class, Gender, SIMS Groups, Groups, House<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are planning to select all the learners in your class, tick the Select All box <\/strong>above the learner images or click the images of those learners you are assigning the homework to, for example, extension tasks, and tick the Selected<\/strong> box in the left pane. The images of the learners appear green with a checkmark if selected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press the Add Homework <\/strong>button at the bottom of the right pane when complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edit, Remove and Cloning Homework (Teams and Google)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you need to edit<\/strong>, remove<\/strong> or clone<\/strong> homework but it was assigned in Teams or Google, Edulink One has a button in these fields that will redirect you to your Teams or Google page. Click on the edit, remove or clone icon and a new window will pop up with the homework assignment. There is a button you must click called Go To Teams<\/strong> (or Go To Google<\/strong>) if you need to edit, remove or clone a piece of homework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Go<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Past Homework<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When a homework task passes its due date, the homework moves into the Past<\/strong> tab in the Homework screen. Past<\/strong> homework works the same as Current<\/strong> homework. The table within the tab is identical and performs all the same functions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Past
Past Homework<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Identically, the past table’s columns have the due date, name, subject and class and set date; it also has the learners window and the edit, remove and clone functionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to the Current<\/strong> tab, to view a piece of homework, click on it. You can view the details of the task and delete it using the bin icon if desired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Past<\/strong> learners column works the same way as the Current <\/strong>learners column, allowing you to record whether you have received homework from a particular student and if there is an issue with the homework. Additionally, you can now filter by first name or surname here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The learners must select Complete <\/strong>when they have finished their homework, otherwise it will read that they have not, as below. They may need reminding to complete this step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Homework<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The edit, remove and clone icons also work in the same way as the current tab. Allowing you to edit the homework, remove homework completely or clone it to modify and use it again. The clone function is particularly useful for past homework if you would like to use it again in another year. To view how these work, see the instructions in the Current Homework tab<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Report Tab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The report tab generates a report of homework completion for every class the teacher teaches and for each learner in the class, e.g. Joey from 11y\/Sc1 has completed his homework 100% of the time this year, whereas Gerta from the same class has only completed her work 68% of the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teacher must click on the class to view a report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Report
Report Tab<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The report gives a breakdown of the homework assigned, the homework completed and the percentage completed by each learner. Now you can choose whether you would like your Percentage Completed<\/strong> statistic based on your learners’ completed <\/strong>work (which they fill in) or the work the teacher has received<\/strong> (which teachers fill in). In the example below, Amanda Jackson has been assigned 3 pieces of homework and the teacher has received 1 piece; therefore, her overall percentage of completed homework is 33%. The percentage completed statistic has been set to the work received by the teacher, not what the learner says they have completed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The settings for Percentage Completed statistics now appear in the Homework Configuration tab<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers can also add homework in the Register<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are using Google Classroom and are importing your homework from there, it is important to be aware that the homework will be visible, but you can’t separate your work etc… <\/p>\n\n\n

Tick the Select All<\/strong> box to choose all learners from your class or click on the images of the pupils you would like to assign homework, and tick the Selected<\/strong> box in the left pane.

Homework title<\/strong>: Provide the homework with a title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Class<\/strong>: Select the class the homework is for. You must select the learners in the previous window and <\/strong>you need to select the class here again. <\/em>This is to ensure you can set homework for a whole class or a small group of learners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subject<\/strong>: Choose the subject the homework is for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due Date<\/strong>: Select the due date of the homework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expected Duration (mins)<\/strong>: The length of time it takes to complete the homework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collection Reminder<\/strong> (time)<\/strong>: A reminder for the teacher to collect in the homework. The reminder will be issued at the time set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
