Edit School |
Click the Edit School: “School Name” link to edit your school information. |
Note: If you are not the School's primary contact, you will not be able to edit your school information, however, as a School Administrator you will have a link to View School information that the primary contact has set. |
Here you can edit school information, enable attendance tracking, add school credit, add a default campaign code if using verifystudents.com, see the testing subscription plan, and testing expiration date, renew the testing subscription, and see the platinum planner expiration date. |
Attendance Tracking |
On the Edit School page, you will see a new group of settings under the “Attendance Tracking” heading. These settings allow the primary School Administrator to customize the attendance tracking notifications that students will see on their dashboard. |
The settings also control what the instructor can view on their Manage Attendance page. By default, these will all be disabled and are up to the primary School Administrator to enable. |
“Testing Classes” and “Tests” are specifically for EMSTesting/PlatinumTests. |
Enabling these buttons will show a notification to students on their dashboard that they have a request to check in for their class or classes and tests as well. |
Once the student chooses to “check-in”, the attendance feature will record the student’s site, event, type, name, check-in and check-out dates and times, attendance, and hours. |
The image below shows an example of what instructors only will see on their Manage Attendance page on their my.platinumed.com dashboard. |
Under the View link in the image above, the Instructor will be able to view more information about their students. This includes the student’s location, as well as a map and the coordinates of their location. Please Note: If the location was captured on a device that does not have GPS, the location shown will be based on an IP address which may not be an accurate predictor of location. |
“Planner Classes”, “Clinicals”, “Labs”, and “Scenario” is for all programs in Platinum Planner. |
Enabling these buttons will show a notification to students on their dashboards that they have a request to check in for their class, clinicals, labs, and/or Scenario. |
