Setting up a Course

New Course

Please contact IT Support if you want to use Autolab for your course. We will create a course on the server, which you can use to install assessments.

Once you have a course installed on the server, you can add students by either enabling self-enrollment or adding them manually.

  1. Enabling self-enrollment will create an access code, which students can use to register for the course. This feature has to be enabled under “Course Settings”–>“Basics”.
  2. Adding them manually happens via Manage Course –> Manage Course Users. This can happen either by name or email of the students or by importing a csv roster containing all student information. When registering new course users, their course rights have to be chosen as either student, course assistant or instructor. For teaching assistants (TAs), choose the role of “Course Assistant”. This will grant the rights to view grades and metrics of the students.

Reiteration of Previous Course

Creating a good Autolab course can be an iterative process. If you want to create a reiteration of your course, send an email to IT Support and attach a tarball of your new course iteration.

Important

  1. Before you tar the new course folder, empty the ‘handin/’ directories in all assessment folders.
  2. When reimporting a previous course, handin dates will not be updated automatically. You can either update all dates manually on the website or modify the dates in the assessment configuration yaml files before tarring the course folder.
