Gale Presents: Excel Adult High School- Learn Stage Overview (For Program Managers)

[00:00:00.429]
In this video, we're going to cover how to use

[00:00:02.740]
the new Learn stage system

[00:00:05.009]
with a library manager.

[00:00:06.809]
You can keep in mind that we do also have a written

[00:00:09.079]
guide for this available for you to refer

[00:00:11.179]
to as you learn the system.

[00:00:13.868]
Let's start with loggin it.

[00:00:16.138]
The login will go to Ladman

[00:00:18.538]
dot learn stage dot slash

[00:00:20.818]
login

[00:00:22.260]
lyn. It will ask you to enter an account ID.

[00:00:25.469]
You can enter Excel at

[00:00:32.000]
then click proceed,

[00:00:36.109]
then it will ask you to enter a user name

[00:00:38.368]
and password.

[00:00:44.509]
Then click log in.

[00:00:46.700]
You will most likely be asked to enter

[00:00:48.810]
an M FA code, which is our two

[00:00:50.918]
factor authentication.

[00:00:54.189]
The code should appear in your email inbox

[00:00:56.348]
within a few seconds and you can enter it.

[00:01:07.980]
Then you'll be taken to the dashboard where you

[00:01:10.028]
can see a main menu to the left.

[00:01:12.519]
Click on library management.

[00:01:17.739]
This is where you can search for your school,

[00:01:20.349]
make sure that the district and school

[00:01:22.448]
are selected and then type in your

[00:01:24.620]
library name

[00:01:30.588]
and then click enter

[00:01:34.319]
to find your library. You can click go

[00:01:36.439]
to open it.

[00:01:41.198]
So now we're on the library detail page.

[00:01:43.549]
This is where you can manage enrollments through

[00:01:45.709]
all of the phases of the enrollment process.

[00:01:48.480]
So we have the applications area

[00:01:50.689]
where the applications come in the prerequisites

[00:01:52.948]
area where students who are enrolled

[00:01:55.269]
in the prerequisite course are held,

[00:01:57.469]
then it moves into scholars

[00:01:59.430]
who are eligible for scholarships

[00:02:01.439]
are held. And then once they are officially approved

[00:02:03.799]
for a scholarship, they move into enrollments.

[00:02:08.250]
So at the top here we have the applications

[00:02:10.258]
area. There are three categories below

[00:02:12.558]
applications.

[00:02:14.000]
We have application decisions,

[00:02:16.409]
attention needed and denied applications.

[00:02:19.909]
Let's take a look at one of these categories to

[00:02:23.069]
get an idea of what that looks like.

[00:02:27.008]
Clicking on one of the categories will take you to

[00:02:29.278]
an enrollment page. So any enrollment

[00:02:31.679]
that comes in is called

[00:02:33.710]
or any application that comes in

[00:02:35.879]
is called an enrollment even if they

[00:02:38.000]
aren't fully enrolled with a scholarship,

[00:02:40.258]
that's just how they're referred.

[00:02:42.110]
Um So as they go through the process that you

[00:02:44.399]
will be taken to an enrollment page,

[00:02:46.778]
and you can see at the top here that enrollments

[00:02:48.949]
are filtered

[00:02:51.129]
to show the students that we are looking

[00:02:53.199]
for. So the most common filter

[00:02:55.258]
qualifier is the enrollment status

[00:02:58.500]
uh and that will change based on what we're looking

[00:03:00.508]
for. Occasionally, it will also use

[00:03:02.649]
action required.

[00:03:05.069]
So let's take a look at the other

[00:03:07.629]
statuses.

[00:03:08.949]
So when attention needed,

[00:03:10.889]
the

[00:03:12.050]
enrollment status is still application,

[00:03:14.490]
but the action required is marked as

[00:03:19.129]
or denied applications

[00:03:22.028]
the enrollment status is canceled.

[00:03:27.969]
So let's take a look at our students that are

[00:03:30.028]
in application decision.

[00:03:33.819]
When looking at the students, you can see there are a lot

[00:03:35.929]
of columns of information

[00:03:38.020]
and it can, you, you'll need to scroll.

[00:03:40.669]
If you don't want to scroll and you want to reduce some

[00:03:42.740]
of these columns, you can go to the top right

[00:03:44.969]
and click being customize your view button

[00:03:47.710]
and

[00:03:48.770]
remove any of those that you

[00:03:50.919]
don't want to look at.

[00:03:53.868]
That will shorten your view

[00:03:56.649]
to open one of the enrollments.

[00:03:58.788]
You can click go

[00:04:00.569]
and that will take you to the enrollment details

[00:04:02.860]
page. But that will show the specific

[00:04:04.879]
information for the student

[00:04:06.819]
at the top. We have the really basic information

[00:04:09.569]
and then the rest of the information is sorted

[00:04:11.868]
in filters

[00:04:13.379]
in the application process or

[00:04:15.699]
in this phase of the process.

[00:04:17.569]
Uh the tabs that will be most useful

[00:04:19.678]
is the student details and then

[00:04:21.709]
the program details tab

[00:04:23.389]
that's where you can find the application question

[00:04:25.910]
answers. So the student submitted,

[00:04:27.778]
this is our test account. So there aren't actually

[00:04:30.108]
real questions entered, but your library

[00:04:32.540]
can set up the questions

[00:04:34.689]
that you would like

[00:04:36.699]
when you do the setup process.

[00:04:38.738]
So you can see their answers here. And then

[00:04:40.798]
you can also take a look at the enrollment history

[00:04:43.079]
area,

[00:04:44.160]
the enrollment logs

[00:04:46.298]
area, it takes a little bit to load,

[00:04:48.338]
but it will show all of the actions taken on the account.

[00:04:50.778]
So you can see when the student enrolled

[00:04:53.428]
if the system has made

[00:04:55.459]
any updates and then if any admin

[00:04:57.709]
have looked it on the account,

[00:05:01.309]
so to approve or deny a student,

[00:05:03.819]
you'll want to change the status

[00:05:05.809]
and the status is in this upper right hand corner.

[00:05:07.980]
Right now, it's set to application.

[00:05:10.019]
We can click on it to change it,

[00:05:12.269]
to approve a student.

[00:05:13.988]
We'll change it to prerequisite That's

[00:05:16.338]
going to move them into the pre

[00:05:17.939]
prerequisite category and

[00:05:20.298]
automatically load the life skills

[00:05:22.540]
course for them to take.

[00:05:24.988]
If you would like to cancel or

[00:05:27.019]
deny a student, then you would click

[00:05:29.269]
canceled

[00:05:30.298]
and that would move them into the applications

[00:05:32.338]
denied category that we looked

[00:05:34.449]
at previously.

[00:05:35.608]
So let's move the student into prerequisite

[00:05:38.519]
so that we can

[00:05:40.428]
give them the prerequisite course.

[00:05:42.920]
All right, let's watch

[00:05:44.629]
and view the student in the

[00:05:46.709]
prerequisite in progress category.

[00:05:50.000]
So now we have our student, Dana demo.

[00:05:52.488]
She's in the prerequisite category.

[00:05:54.988]
And if we click to open her accounts,

[00:05:58.588]
we can take a look at her courses,

[00:06:01.088]
like looking the courses tab,

[00:06:03.500]
this is going to show that she has the life

[00:06:05.600]
skills course loaded

[00:06:07.139]
and you can view inside

[00:06:09.459]
of progress

[00:06:10.709]
um module progress in

[00:06:12.759]
the grade that comes in here if you would like

[00:06:14.829]
to. But the nice part about this prerequisite

[00:06:17.488]
phase is that the system does the work

[00:06:20.009]
for you. So when the student has moved

[00:06:22.290]
in prerequisite the system automatically

[00:06:24.569]
loads the course and it also

[00:06:26.699]
automatically sets the expiration

[00:06:28.769]
date. It gives them those 14

[00:06:31.119]
days to complete

[00:06:32.819]
the course.

[00:06:34.139]
And then

[00:06:35.329]
when the student completes the course, it will

[00:06:37.738]
mark the course as either passed or

[00:06:39.819]
failed,

[00:06:40.798]
uh and then change the enrollment

[00:06:42.858]
status

[00:06:44.879]
so we can go up to the top here. So we

[00:06:47.069]
wouldn't need to do this. The system would do it for us.

[00:06:49.699]
But once the student has passed,

[00:06:51.869]
we would move the student into

[00:06:53.699]
the status

[00:06:54.619]
is completed and that moves

[00:06:56.660]
them into the,

[00:06:58.809]
uh, waiting to assign seats area.

[00:07:01.059]
We'll look at that next. If they

[00:07:03.079]
don't pass the course or if

[00:07:05.220]
they don't take the course in time,

[00:07:07.798]
it will indicate that they are ineligible

[00:07:10.319]
to

[00:07:11.278]
move forward in the program.

[00:07:13.858]
So let's go back again.

[00:07:16.369]
Take a look

[00:07:18.100]
here in failed. We can see

[00:07:20.119]
that it's going to filter out any

[00:07:22.410]
of the ineligible students.

[00:07:25.869]
All right. So lets

[00:07:28.730]
move this over as if we were the system

[00:07:33.269]
to

[00:07:34.689]
complete it.

[00:07:37.319]
So that's gonna show that Dina

[00:07:39.319]
has completed the course

[00:07:41.269]
and passed.

[00:07:42.869]
And if we refresh this,

[00:07:45.059]
we can see that she's now

[00:07:47.309]
in these scholarships area, that

[00:07:49.649]
means she has passed the prerequisite and is eligible

[00:07:52.028]
to be considered for a scholarship.

[00:07:54.009]
So any students

[00:07:55.178]
in that situation are held in waiting

[00:07:57.730]
to assign seats area.

[00:08:01.290]
So again, you can open up the enrollments,

[00:08:03.949]
you can see that the enrollment status is completed

[00:08:06.649]
and then you can view the account again,

[00:08:09.449]
not a lot will have cha changed

[00:08:11.470]
in this at this point.

[00:08:13.480]
Um But you can always go back and view

[00:08:15.588]
that course and what the grade

[00:08:17.670]
is in any

[00:08:19.838]
details that you would want to look at.

[00:08:22.189]
So once you've decided that you would like the student

[00:08:24.379]
to receive a scholarship, you can go to the top,

[00:08:26.649]
right. And all you need to do

[00:08:28.798]
is change the status to in a role

[00:08:31.160]
and that will move them into

[00:08:34.450]
the

[00:08:36.340]
enrollments category.

[00:08:38.590]
When they are moved into the enrollments category,

[00:08:40.989]
their set of six courses will

[00:08:43.000]
be automatically loaded to their account

[00:08:45.219]
as well.

[00:08:47.529]
When at this point, the student is fully enrolled

[00:08:49.899]
and using a scholarship

[00:08:52.690]
to track the amount of scholarships

[00:08:54.918]
you're using and how many seats are still

[00:08:57.038]
available. You can use the scholarship reports

[00:08:59.389]
which is under scholarships area.

[00:09:02.219]
When you click on it, it's going to show you

[00:09:04.440]
a report of how many

[00:09:06.820]
seats are available in the library

[00:09:09.719]
and how many there are total.

[00:09:12.509]
You can also see a debit

[00:09:14.629]
that indicates any time a seat has

[00:09:16.739]
been added and then credit

[00:09:18.940]
indicates any time a seat has been

[00:09:21.190]
used.

[00:09:26.298]
So to take a look at your active enrolled students

[00:09:28.928]
and see how they're doing,

[00:09:30.779]
you can click on active enrollments

[00:09:33.190]
that's going to show you any student who is

[00:09:35.379]
enrolled

[00:09:36.599]
and you

[00:09:38.000]
can click go to take a look at their account

[00:09:41.529]
and you can track their course progress.

[00:09:44.830]
Uh This hasn't

[00:09:46.219]
student hasn't completed any work yet, but the

[00:09:48.330]
progress would appear here

[00:09:50.269]
and you could see how they're doing if there

[00:09:52.418]
were transfer credits, it would also show up

[00:09:54.460]
on this list and they would be specifically

[00:09:56.788]
marked as transfer credits.

[00:09:59.070]
And you can also take a look at their notes area.

[00:10:02.599]
This is where you can see if the transcripts

[00:10:05.000]
loaded if an audit has been completed,

[00:10:07.820]
if a student is called in and asked questions.

[00:10:10.590]
So the Excel high school team

[00:10:12.769]
will use this as they process

[00:10:15.428]
documents. The account manager will use this

[00:10:17.869]
and then you can see what's going on

[00:10:20.029]
over there. The note section does

[00:10:22.210]
use

[00:10:23.229]
a filter option as well. It's a little

[00:10:25.408]
bit different, but each note has

[00:10:27.500]
a certain type that

[00:10:29.769]
our team uses.

[00:10:31.349]
So if you click admin,

[00:10:33.389]
it will show only the content

[00:10:35.690]
that is under admin or admission

[00:10:38.070]
will show only admission.

[00:10:39.769]
Generally it's pretty easy just to view all

[00:10:41.928]
of them and scroll through

[00:10:44.239]
them to see them in chronological order.

[00:10:50.009]
If you wanted to check their deadline, you could

[00:10:52.109]
go to the enrollment details.

[00:10:55.298]
Yeah, and see their expiration date is listed

[00:10:57.629]
here that's automatically

[00:11:00.190]
set by the system and it gives them two years

[00:11:02.548]
to complete the entire program and

[00:11:04.590]
graduate.

[00:11:06.469]
And then if you wanted to take

[00:11:08.570]
a look at their login history and see how many times

[00:11:10.779]
they're logging in,

[00:11:11.840]
you go to the login history tab

[00:11:14.058]
that will show every time they log into

[00:11:16.369]
their account

[00:11:17.928]
and then you could always review enrollment history

[00:11:20.629]
like we talked about before.

[00:11:23.000]
Uh you can see more of those actions that

[00:11:25.080]
are taken on the account such

[00:11:27.279]
as adding courses,

[00:11:29.288]
recording courses

[00:11:32.590]
and so on.

[00:11:35.840]
So lastly, let's take a look at how to

[00:11:38.109]
log in as a student and

[00:11:40.590]
view their course progress.

[00:11:42.798]
While actually inside of their

[00:11:45.219]
canvas account,

[00:11:48.359]
we wanna go over to the student details tab.

[00:11:51.029]
And on this student info

[00:11:53.129]
card, you can see the login as

[00:11:55.349]
button when you click

[00:11:57.399]
on it, that's going to open up a student

[00:11:59.859]
view. So it indicates you're

[00:12:02.009]
logged in as a student to view their courses,

[00:12:05.599]
you would click course details

[00:12:08.668]
and then that's going to open up more information

[00:12:11.668]
and it has some tabs including the courses

[00:12:13.979]
to, you can see the courses

[00:12:16.009]
here as well. They look similar to

[00:12:18.788]
how you see it on the admin side with slightly

[00:12:20.830]
different layout

[00:12:22.139]
and then to the right, you can click

[00:12:24.320]
go to course to open up

[00:12:26.379]
their canvas account

[00:12:29.750]
on their canvas. Count one of the most useful

[00:12:31.820]
areas to look at is the view grades

[00:12:33.908]
area. That's to the right.

[00:12:36.750]
That's where you can see all of their courses

[00:12:38.859]
listed and the grades they've

[00:12:41.969]
to see their progress, you can click on one of

[00:12:44.019]
the courses

[00:12:45.269]
and that's going to show all of the assignments

[00:12:47.629]
in that course. So this is a really good measure

[00:12:50.038]
of how far they are through the course,

[00:12:52.250]
uh, because

[00:12:53.479]
they have to complete those assignments in order to

[00:12:55.558]
complete the course.

[00:12:57.729]
You see all of them, anything that

[00:12:59.769]
has a grade will have a number, anything that doesn't,

[00:13:01.989]
will have a dash

[00:13:04.190]
and you can view the overall grade over here

[00:13:06.489]
to the top. Right.

[00:13:08.058]
If you'd like to see the details of

[00:13:10.168]
the course, you can click modules

[00:13:12.349]
and that's where you can go to the actual course.

[00:13:15.009]
But remember we are in the student view.

[00:13:17.119]
So you're seeing it exactly

[00:13:19.379]
how they see it

[00:13:20.489]
and you can see the content of the course.

[00:13:22.889]
A checkmark indicates that the studio

[00:13:25.330]
has opened

[00:13:26.609]
that module section

[00:13:28.570]
and viewed it.

[00:13:29.918]
So this is another way you can see

[00:13:32.158]
a student's activity.

[00:13:34.719]
The assignment progress on

[00:13:36.859]
the learn stage account would

[00:13:39.469]
reflect the grades.

[00:13:41.879]
It would reflect what percentage of the

[00:13:43.908]
assignments they've completed in this grades area.

[00:13:46.389]
The module progress wheel that's

[00:13:48.629]
going to be indicating

[00:13:50.308]
um how many of these module

[00:13:52.418]
sections have the green check marks.

[00:13:54.989]
So two different ways to view progress

[00:13:57.750]
on reflecting something similar

[00:14:02.269]
if you'd like to navigate to their course,

[00:14:04.820]
uh each any of their courses,

[00:14:06.849]
you know that standard way you can go to the

[00:14:08.899]
left, click the little book and

[00:14:11.590]
you can click to open any of the courses in this

[00:14:13.690]
way as well.

[00:14:15.349]
And you can click grades to be the grades

[00:14:17.440]
again and

[00:14:19.808]
then modules to view the modules.

[00:14:22.700]
So that's just a quick overview of their canvass

[00:14:24.759]
account. You shouldn't need to go in here very

[00:14:26.859]
often because learn stage will

[00:14:28.960]
reflect all of this activity like I'm I

[00:14:31.000]
mentioned before.

[00:14:32.529]
Uh So you'll have a really quick view.

[00:14:34.840]
And if you did want to go in to see when

[00:14:36.928]
something was completed, you could go

[00:14:39.009]
to the greats page,

[00:14:40.519]
open up a quiz and you would have a time stamp

[00:14:42.918]
there um and see

[00:14:45.178]
a few more details about

[00:14:47.009]
the submission and what the answer,

[00:14:49.418]
how they're doing and things like that.

[00:14:52.678]
So that concludes our overview of the new learn

[00:14:54.798]
stage and viewing canvas

[00:14:57.229]
courses. Thanks for watching.
