In Fall 2008, the Electronic Educational Environment (EEE) web team introduced new features to facilitate course administration for instructors and TAs.
SignupSheet
In August 2008, SignupSheet was added to the EEE toolbox. This new tool helps instructors and TAs manage their classes by collecting online sign-ups from their students.
SignupSheet is in use already, with 100+ sheets published for students to sign up for presentation time slots, paper topics, and office hours with their instructors and TAs.
EasyWebsite
It’s easier than ever to build a class website and provide course materials to students with the new ‘Images’ feature in EasyWebsite. Instructors and TAs can add full image galleries, with automatically created thumbnails and customized image layouts.
Rapid Return
The Rapid Return process, originally launched in March 2007, has been streamlined. Starting Fall 2008, scanned exam files are automatically transferred directly to EEE from Distribution & Document Management (DDM), where instructors and teaching assistants can securely distribute them to students via EEE DropBox.
Help & How-to Primers
EEE Help & How-to guides now feature one-page student primers, useful for printing and distributing in class as part of the syllabus, or linking from a class website. Each downloadable PDF covers basic information about an EEE tool: what the tool is, how to access it, how to begin using it, and where to find more information. Popular student primers include:
