Running a course

Lab groups, assistants and announcements

Labs and tutorials rarely run with the whole year group at once. In ISEUS you create groups and assign students and assistants, and attendance, activities and announcements are automatically linked to the right group.

How it works

  1. 01

    Create groups

    Create lab or tutorial groups and assign students one by one or all at once.

  2. 02

    Assign assistants

    Give each group one or more assistants. The course check warns you about groups without an assistant and students without a group.

  3. 03

    Run the sessions

    The assistant runs the sessions and attendance of their group and scores activities for the students of that group.

  4. 04

    Reach the right students

    Post an announcement to the whole course, to all of your groups or to a single group. Students can comment.

What each role gets

Professor

A clear division of work: you see which groups exist, who runs them and how many sessions were held, without a separate spreadsheet.

Assistant

You work with your groups and your students, not with the full list. Announcements go only to the people they concern.

Student

You know which group you are in and who your assistant is, and you only get the announcements that apply to you.

Frequently asked questions

How do I organise students into lab groups?

In the course you create groups and add students individually or all at once. Students without a group are listed in one place, so nobody is left out.

Can a group have more than one assistant?

Yes. Assistants are assigned per group, and one assistant can run several groups.

Can I send an announcement to just one group?

Yes. An announcement can go to the whole course, to all of your groups or to a single group, and students can comment on it.
