The roster

Every PD opportunity, whether instructor-led or self-paced, has a roster associated with it. Through the roster, you can see a list of registered learners, check the waitlist for a section, and assign grades and course credit. Rosters have identical options whether the course is instructor-led or self-paced and in Moodle or not, though some of these options will not be useful for particular formats.

For self-paced learning opportunities, you can access the roster from the Tools menu at the top of the screen.

For instructor-led courses, each section has its own roster. Access the roster for each section from the Actions menu at the bottom of the management page for that section.

Roster options

When you view the roster, you’ll see a summary of information about the course or section, including class times and credit available. Beneath this information, you will see a set of buttons that give you various options for managing and using the roster.

important icon Important! If a participant’s email address on the roster is listed as noreply@truenorthlogic.com, the participant’s email address needs to be corrected in the local district Human Resources Management System. Please contact the local district’s HRMS person to correct the participant's email address. An incorrect email address will prevent the participant from receiving email notifications from the PD System and from any instructors or facilitators.

Certificates of completion

After the course instructor/facilitator sets the user’s section course registration status to “Complete,” the user can access his or her certificate by clicking My Transcript in the My Courses area of the Professional Development tab. In the list of completed courses, if CEUs have been awarded, a hyperlinked certificate number will be listed. Click the certificate number for any course. It will link to the completion certificate.
