The types of course rosters available in HiTeach are as follows:
1.Cloud Simple Class: A course roster created instantly when "Start Lesson" is executed in HiTeach or pre-created from the Hi menu / Roster Management ( Students do not need to register an account). This is the most common and easiest way to create a roster. The teacher can view and manage class records, but students cannot autonomously view them after class.
2.Cloud ID Class: A course pre-created on the HiTeach's cloud service (IES platform), which students join independently (**Students need to register an account**), and can then be selected in HiTeach. Its features include the ability to disable HiTeach's Guest mode, forcing students to log in with their own accounts. Students can also view or review class history information after class.
3.Cloud School Class: A course and student roster (accounts) centrally created by the school administrator on the IES cloud platform, with the teacher designated to teach it. The teacher can select and use it upon login. Its features facilitate centralized school management, and students can log in with their own accounts and view or review class history information after class.
4.Dynamic Roster: Suitable for one-time sessions such as conferences/seminars/impromptu gatherings. The participant list is not fixed and is automatically numbered based on the joining time. Only the record is kept, and the roster is not saved. That is, the "Allow set seat No." and "Save list after class" options are disabled when creating the roster.
Before starting a lesson with HiTeach, you can first create a course roster, including the course name, student names, seat numbers, group numbers, group names, student avatars, and other information. When students are added or removed from the roster, you can add, modify, or delete students.
Step 1: Teachers usually have an Excel roster of their classes. After arranging the list by seat number order, select all student names and press Ctrl + C on the keyboard or right-click the mouse and select "Copy." (For file format reference, see Sample File A04)
Step 2: Ensure you are logged into your account in HiTeach. From the Hi menu, select Roster Management.
Step 3: After the Roster Management screen appears, click the "+" button. After the Add List screen appears, enter the course name. In the form field, press Ctrl + V on the keyboard to paste the roster copied from Excel. Then, click the Preview button, and the course roster will display on the right side of the screen. Finally, click the OK button to create the roster. (You can also manually input student names, seat numbers, group numbers, group names, etc., in the form. For practice, if you do not have pre-prepared roster data, you can click the Import Sample button to instantly create a sample roster for operation practice.)
From now on, when you click Start Lesson, you can select this roster to conduct your HiTeach class. This roster will automatically synchronize to the cloud with your logged-in account, and you can access it directly when logging into HiTeach on another computer, without needing to recreate it.
In addition to the previous method of pre-creating the course roster, you can also use HiTeach's more convenient automatic roster creation function. In class, students can instantly select their seat number and enter their name. This allows class to start immediately, and the roster is already created when class ends—very convenient.
Step 1: Click Start Lesson, then click the "+" button. After the Auto Create List screen appears, enter the course name, select the number of groups, and the number of students (just choose a number greater than your required number), then click the Start button.
Step 2: Ask students to go to the HiTeach platform entrance at hiteach.cc, enter the Classroom number and PIN number, or ask students to scan the QR code to connect.
Step 3: After connecting, students select their seat number and enter their name. Taking student number 2 as an example, first select the student box for number 2, then click Type your name, and after completing the name input, click the OK button.
The teacher can view the connection status of students joining. The teacher can turn the attendance book on or off at any time. Once all students have connected, the course roster is established, and the teacher can immediately begin the lesson.
The next time you click the Start Lesson button to begin a lesson, you can directly select this roster to conduct HiTeach interactive classroom activities. It is important to note that the roster only records students who were actually present and joined the class. Therefore, if a student is absent, their information will not be in the course roster, and you should use the Edit function to manually add them later.
A Dynamic Roster is one where the participants are not fixed, and both the number of attendees and the attendees themselves may be uncertain. When participants connect and join the class, they are automatically numbered based on the time they join. This type of roster is suitable for one-time sessions such as meetings/seminars/impromptu gatherings, where only the record is kept, and the roster is not saved.
To create a Dynamic Roster, click Start Lesson, then click the "+" button. After the Auto Create List screen appears, enter the course name, number of groups, and number of students. Disable the "Allow set seat No." and "Save list after class" toggles, and then click the Start button. Students (participants) can then start connecting to the class and begin interactive activities.
After the course roster is created, you can create groups and set group names if needed. The steps are as follows:
Step 1: Select the course roster you want to group and click "Edit." After the Edit Group screen appears, click "Grouping," and then select the automatic grouping method. You can choose grouping methods such as Sequence, S Group, or Random. Next, enter the number of groups, and then click the Confirm button.
Step 2: If you want to customize the group names, select the group you want to edit, then click Rename, enter the group name, and then click the Confirm button. Once all edits are complete, click the close "X" button. When the prompt asking whether to save the group changes appears, click "Confirm" to save the changes made to the roster.
In the edit grouping window, you can manually add or delete groups. You can also move group members by selecting one or more students and holding the left mouse button to drag them to the desired group.
HiTeach not only makes creating course rosters more convenient, but it also automatically assigns cute, random avatars when teachers haven't imported student portraits, making classroom interaction more engaging!
Click the Attendance List icon in HiTeach, and you will see all students automatically assigned avatars. When using Pick-out or interactive Q&A, the student avatars will be displayed on the screen.
If you wish to customize a set of unique avatars or turn off the automatic random avatar assignment, click the avatar icon in the upper right corner to enter the "Student Profile Picture Setting" interface and make adjustments according to your needs.
Avatars are a catalyst for the classroom. When the Pick-out function displays student avatars, it creates a specially engaging classroom atmosphere. First, prepare a folder containing the students' individual avatar files. Commonly used image formats such as .png, .jpg, and .jpeg are supported. It is recommended that the avatars be square (1:1 aspect ratio), for example, 256px X 256px. This ratio ensures optimal image display. Please name the files according to the seat number. This allows for quick, automatic matching of exclusive avatars for every student in the class. The steps are as follows:
Click "Start Lesson," or select Roster Management from the Hi menu. Then, for the roster you wish to batch-match student avatars to, click Edit. After the editing groups screen appears, click the Avatar Management icon, then select the folder where the avatar files are located, and click the Select Folder button to complete the student avatar settings.
If you need to make adjustments to individual student information, click the pencil icon next to the student's name to edit it. Once editing is complete, click the "X" in the upper right corner to exit. When prompted to save the changes, click "Confirm" to complete the avatar settings.
To delete individual students or an entire course roster that has been created in the cloud, open the Teaching Resource Area, click the Cloud icon, and then click Personal / Course Management / List Management in sequence. Select the course roster you want to manage to delete individual student data. If you want to delete the entire course roster, click More Features and select Remove List from the menu.
You can also edit or delete individual student data by clicking the Edit function mentioned earlier.
