Lecturer Portal / My Courses Page

Introduction

The Lecturer Portal is where most features and functionalities available to lecturers are located. This page can be accessed by going to:
Training > My Courses

The portal is designed to centralize tasks such as class management, communication, grade entry, placement supervision, and access to course resources.

Main Features

1. Viewing Class List

• By default, the My Courses page opens to the Lecturer Timetable tab.

• Adjust the filter (semester, course, etc.) and click the Class List button beside the course name.

• The class list will display only fully registered students.

Icons on Class List

• Not financially cleared – indicates outstanding financial obligations.

• Moodle enrolled – shows that the student has been added to Moodle (depending on the integration type).

• Cross-registered student – student comes from another cohort or programme.

• Resitting student – clicking the icon shows the student’s grades from their last sitting of the course.

2. Communication (Email)

• Lecturers can send emails to individual students or use the bulk communication feature to reach an entire class.

3. Grades & Entry

• Navigate to the Enter/Upload Grades tab to record grades.

• If a grade setup is required:

  • Go to the Grades Setup tab.

  • Specify the number of coursework pieces and associated weightings.

  • Save the setup before entering grades.

• Grades can be entered:

  • Directly on-screen, or

  • By downloading an Excel grade sheet, filling it offline, and uploading it back using the Grades Upload feature.

?? Note: Only students who are registered will appear on the class list or grade sheet.

Submitting Grades

• Once all grades are entered and reviewed, click Submit Gradesheet.

• A notification will be sent to the Head of Department (HOD) or the designated department for further processing.

• After submission, no modifications can be made except for:

  • Students who registered late, or

  • Students who had no grades entered before submission.

Key Points for Grade Entry

1. Confirm the course version (code, credits, weighting).

2. Verify that the grading scale is correct. This can be checked under the Grading Scheme tab.
