As an SLM leader (course instructor) managing one or more courses, you will need to access information about individual students--their need responses, their hours, their email address, etc. The following individual student information is easily available to you in the SLM:
- Name, email address, and student ID
- Need responses submitted
- Hours submitted, along with student reflections submitted with hours
In addition, you can edit a student's need responses and hours submissions, and you can export an individual student's responses and hours data.
Note: To view all students' hours and review students' hours for approval, you would go to the Hours area of your SLM Leader Portal. Click here for more information.
Accessing Individual Student Information
To access information about one of your students:
- Log into your Connect site and go to your SLM Leader Portal.
- Click User Info and begin typing a name into the User Lookup field. Once the individual's name appears, click to select it. (Click image below for a larger view.)
Note: Alternatively, you can go to the Roster area, view the students in a select course (user group), and click on a student's name.
Now that you have selected a student, you'll see tabs for the student's information, responses, and volunteer hours.
Student Information Tab
The student information tab displays the student's name, email address, and reference ID. The reference ID is typically a student ID. If the student ID has not been imported or entered into your Connect system, the Reference ID line may be blank.
Student Responses Tab
Click the Responses tab to view the needs the student has responded to as part of your course, and to edit or export those responses as needed. (Click image for a larger view.)
If you have had a student in multiple courses or multiple blocks, you can search for responses by selecting a block or course from the applicable dropdown and clicking the Go button.
Editing a Student's Need Responses
Use the icons in the Options column to take the following actions:
Icon | Option | Description |
Edit the response | Change the course with which the need is associated. You can only change it to a course for which you are an SLM leader. | |
Submit volunteer hours on the student's behalf | You can submit the date worked, hours worked, and other descriptive fields. If your course includes reflection questions, you can submit answers as well. Click Submit Hour Entry to save the data. | |
Delete the response | Click the X and then click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the student's response. |
Note: When you delete a response, the student will receive an email that they have been unregistered from the need.
Exporting a Student's Need Responses
To export a student's responses from the student's Responses tab, click the Export Responses button, located above the Options column header. The exported spreadsheet displays the following information:
