Edline basics

You may have noticed that Edline looks a little different, so this is a tutorial to walk you through how to

• Set up your Edline pages for the year (most of you know how to do this)
• Copy images and other materials from last year’s Edline pages

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Refreshing Your Edline Class Pages for the New School Year

We have a slightly different home page.

• My classes and shortcuts is where your classes are. See below how to make changes.
• My content is where your “old class materials,” previous year’s classes are. If you want to copy images, assignments, class description from last year, you’ll start here.
• Command center is where your Gradequick gradebook is accessed. (Gradequick is also accessible from the top menu.)

To edit your Edline page

• First roll your mouse pointer over My classes and shortcuts, and you’ll see a list of your classes for this year.
• Click on the class you want to edit
• Click on Contents (on the right).
• To make changes in class description and picture, click on Manage class.
• You can change the class description to something a little more meaningful, but don’t touch the class ID number.

Class Description is a good place to add information about your class.

To add a different image, scroll down, click on Browse, and find an image that you have stored in your computer, for example under . Click on the image you want and the address will be stored on the edit page.

Click on Save and then click on Done.

To copy over last year’s picture, class description, and so on

On your home page, roll your mouse over My Content, then click on Old Class Materials.

You’ll see a long list of classes from previous years. “Be sure you get the class from the correct school year,” says the voice of experience, so look at both the class title and the date the page was last modified. Click on the class you want to use. You will see a menu with choices to copy.

Select the items you want to copy over, such as

• Group info (image and class description)
• Links

Click on Copy to.
You’ll have the opportunity to say which classes you want to copy it to (you can copy it to more than one). Don’t forget to click Done.
