For The New Instructor:
All new CPR users
(students and faculty) must complete an account profile. To do this, you must
access the following URL: http://cpr.tamu.edu,
click on Access CPR at TAMU, then click on the New Users: first time logging in? link and follow the onscreen instructions. New
users will be allowed to select their own password and a challenge question and
answer during this process. You will be given your CPR username after you
complete setting up your profile and allowed to log in again. For more
information, you can watch "Flash" movies on Logging In
As a New User and Accessing
the CPR Tour (compliments of Dr. Tim Su)
You will need the free
Macromedia Flash Player plugin to view these. [top]
CPR users must use
Internet Explorer version 4 or higher (recommended) or Netscape Navigator
version 4 or higher. [top]
Administrators create
and delete institution courses, and create, edit and delete user accounts. [top]
Dr. Wendy
Keeney-Kennicutt (kennicutt@mail.chem.tamu.edu)
is the master administrator for TAMU. Jean Layne (j-layne@tamu.edu) and Baris Gunersel (bgunersel@neo.tamu.edu) are the
administrators for WALS - Writing for Assessment and Learning in the Natural
and Mathematical Sciences. [top]
An instructor activates
and monitors assignments in a course. A designer authors assignments. [top]
Students take CPR
assignments. During assignments, students explore source material, enter text,
perform reviews and view results. HERE
is a flow chart (pdf) of what goes on during an assignment. [top]
Your students can find
general information from the Student FAQs found on the Login page. There are also
handouts available to you on the Instructor page. As for scoring their peers'
essays, if you have set up your questions so that they constitute the grading
rubric, you can tell your students to simply count the number of questions
correct. If there are 10 total, they will be close to a reasonable grade for
their peer's essay. This method is very straghtforward and helps them see that
judging essays can be objective. If you prefer a more holistic approach to
reviewing essays, here are
Student Guidelines for Rating CPR Essays (on a scale of 1 to 10):
Thanks to Lynne O'Connell (Boston College) and Arlene A. Russell
(CPR Team)
There are three
different scenarios. (1) The student is not telling you the truth, and you have
to deal with that issue. (Note: You can now contact the administrator, Wendy Keeney-Kennicutt and she can check
the server log to see if the student had logged on when he/she claimed. You
need to send her the students CPR username and the day the work was submitted).
(2) She saved her essay, but didn’t submit it. You can go to the Tools listing, choose Submit Text for an Individual Student, enter her
UIN or CPR ID and you should see her essay in the box. Click on Submit. (3) The server/program timed her out and she didn’t
realize it.
Whenever someone is writing in a textbox for a certain period of time, the server and/or the program thinks the student/instructor is not working and will disconnect him or her from the server. When the student hits the submit button, he or she immediately get taken to the login page and the essay never gets submitted. Therefore, you need to either tell your students to save/submit (submit is a better option – they can submit as many times as they wish up to the deadline) their work every 15 minutes or so, or, as a much better alternative, write the assignment in a word processing program. It is very easy for them to spell check and grammar check, then copy and paste the text into the textbox. This second alternative procedure is definitely recommended for your students. If they keep a copy and get disconnected, they can always reconnect and resubmit their essays. You can have her email her essay to you and you can submit it through Tools. [top]
Setting Up a Course and Creating/Managing New Users:
Yes, you can. Unlike WebCT, you can definitely
use the back button. [top]
You can’t. You need to email your CPR
administrator: Dr. Wendy Keeney-Kennicutt (kennicutt@mail.chem.tamu.edu) for TAMU in general or Jean Layne (j-layne@tamu.edu) and Blake Godkin (bgodkin@tamu.edu) if you are a part of WALS - Writing for Assessment and Learning
in the Natural and Mathematical Sciences. Give your course number and title,
sections and semester. [top]
Contact your administrator immediately. She or
he simply has to add another course to your list of courses, e.g. a practice
course, and all your courses will appear. The programmers don’t know why
this happens occasionally, but the problem has an easy fix. [top]
Every new user in CPR must have a new account
created by an administrator. Once an account is created it can be added to
multiple courses as students and can be assigned multiple uses levels (i.e.
administrator, designer, instructor, student). Users must be added as students
to each and every course in which they are enrolled. Both administrators and
instructors can add students to a course. [top]
Only administrators are allowed to create new
users. Both administrators and instructors are allowed to add students to
courses. [top]
Yes. A single student can be enrolled in more
than one course at any time. Students can also be enrolled at more than one
institution. [top]
At the appropriate time, you must send the
administrator an excel spread sheet of your students’ names and UIN
numbers (last name, first name, UIN number in adjacent columns). This
information can be obtained from SIMS or from your NEO account (see below for
instructions). Student information is uploaded twice in CPR: (1) by the
administrator to the main data base, and (2) by you or the administrator into
your course. The upload directions into your course are clearly given in the
CPR program. Enter as Instructor/Designer -> Access Courses -> choose
your course -> Manage Students -> Add Students From File and follow
directions (see below for further help). Wendy has SIMS access, so she can
obtain your student records for you if necessary. [top]
You need to contact the administrator with the
TA’s name and UIN number so that the TA can be added to the main CPR data
base and be given instructor status. You must then: Login -> Enter as
Instructor/Designer -> Access Courses -> choose your course -> Manage
Students -> Add Instructor. You will need the TA’s CPR Username,
which you can get either from the TA or from the administrator. He or she did
not have to be registered in your course beforehand. [top]
You have access to three libraries: your Personal Library containing one example assignment and ones you
write yourself; the Institutional Library containing assignments your peers have written
and have published to the Institutional Library and the Server Library containing assignments that were written and
proofed by faculty at other institutions. You can use any of these. However, at
some point, you will need to write your own assignments. With time, the
Institutional Library and Server Library will grow. We encourage you to publish
and share assignments with your peers. [top]
All finished assignments in your personal
library are eligible to be published to your institution’s library as
well as to the server library. Before you can publish any of your assignments,
you must contact your institution administrator to request access to the
assignment publishing tool.
Once you have approval, you can share your assignments with instructors at your institution by publishing to the institution’s assignment library. To do this: login -> Enter as Instructor/Designer -> Author Assignments -> select assignment -> Publish Assignment -> choose your Institution library and follow the remaining instructions.
If you wish, you can share your assignments with all instructors who use CPR on our server (which right now is only TAMU – College Station). To do this: login -> Enter as Instructor/Designer -> Author Assignments -> select assignment -> Publish Assignment -> choose “Contributed Assignments” and follow the remaining instructions. [top]
You can’t. The CPR program is expressly
written to protect other authors’ assignments from being plagiarized. You
either have to use it the way it is, or rewrite a similar one for your own
Personal Library. [top]
First of all, you must be an
Instructor/Designer. All instructors have access to the Authoring Assignment
tools. If you do not see the Authoring Assignment option, contact your
administrator. To begin: Login -> Enter as Instructor/Designer ->
Author Assignments -> either Create a New Assignment or click on the Example
Assignment and choose Duplicate Assignment. I suggest for your first
assignment to edit the duplicated assignment. That way you can easily see how
it's done. [top]
Examples
of simple HTML coding are as follows:
<B> text </B> Displays the enclosed text in boldface;
<B>Hi</B> gives Hi.
<i> text </i> Displays the
enclosed text in italics; <i>Hi</i> gives Hi.
<SUB> text </SUB> Displays the
enclosed text subscripted; H<SUB>2</SUB>O gives H2O.
<SUP> text </SUP> Displays the enclosed text superscripted; Na<SUP>+1
</SUP> gives Na+1
<CENTER> text </CENTER> Centers
the text on the line
<BR> Inserts
a line break after the text.
<CENTER> text </CENTER> Centers
the text on the line
<BR> Inserts
a line break after the text.
<P> or </P> Inserts a blank
line after the text.
If you
wish to use the greater than sign (>) or the less than sign (<), you must
be careful because the word counter in CPR will get confused. CPR will think
you are trying to format in HTML. You should use > for > and <
for <.
A forward arrow (-->) can be --> and a double headed arrow
(<-->) can be <-->.
When you wish to put a link to a webpage in your text, type
<a href="http://website address">Name
of the website address</a>. When you preview the page, you will see
Name of the website address (whatever
is between <a href="…"> and
</a>) which will be clickable and take you to the website.
The Mid-level
and Low-level Calibration essays
must seem authentic to students if the essays are to be effective learning
tools. These calibration essays need to address common student misconceptions
and errors and include typical superficial answers that do not show the depth
of understanding you want. Prepare a list of student misconceptions, errors,
and superficial answers that you have seen. Distribute them between these two
essays. Write the essays as clearly as you can while including the
misconceptions. You don’t want bad English to obscure the content errors.
If you field test the writing prompt before you make it an official CPR
assignment using extra credit writing assignments, you get good subject matter
for these calibration essays.
For
each question, you must designate the question type as either Style or Content, and
choose the answer set. If you check the Student Explanation box,
students are required to enter an explanation of their answer to that question
in a text box as they review their peers’ essays. Students are always
required to explain their overall rating of the text. When you require your
students to explain their answers, you are asking them to put their reasoning
in words. You may wish to consider having students comment on any major points
of understanding in the assignment.
You
CANNOT use HTML formatting when you write your questions. The program coding
doesn’t support it and your students may not be able to read part of the
question, even if you can.
You do
have the opportunity to order your questions as you see appropriate.
There
is a final question that is automatically added to all assignments: the student
must set an overall rating of the text from 1 to 10.
The answer is no and yes. No, the CPR program
does not allow you or your students to upload pictures onto the CPR server that
can appear in your essays. However, you can put a picture that is sitting on
another server into an essay. The issue for the student then becomes one of
anonymity - keeping the student anonymous, since everyone will be able to see
the link's address. When you wish to put a picture in your text, type
<img src="http://web address.gif or
.jpg">
When you preview the page, you will see
your picture. For example, if you copy this into the text box:
<img height=200 width=150 alt=chemistry logo
src="http://www.chem.tamu.edu/class/fyp/pics/chembutt.gif">
you should see this chemistry logo,

In this example, I set the height and width of
the image to be 200 and 150 pixels, respectively; you can set this to be
whatever you want or omit it altogether. "alt" means if the picture
doesn't show itself, the words, "chemistry logo," will appear. This
also isn't necessary, but it is good form.
The
issue remains about keeping students' names out of the link. You can work with
your department to have space on your server to ftp student files(pictures, pdf
files, etc.) Some faculty already do that for their students. If you want more
information, contact the CPR administrator, Dr. Wendy
Keeney-Kennicutt. [top]
Whenever you are working in a textbox for a
certain period of time, the server and/or the program thinks you are not working
and will disconnect you from the server. Therefore, you need to save your work
every 10 minutes or so. An alternative is to write the sections of your
assignment in your word processing program, then copy and paste the text into
the box. This procedure is definitely recommended for your students. If they
keep a copy and get disconnected, they can always reconnect and resubmit their
essay. You’ll know when you have been disconnected when you click on a
button and immediately get taken to the login page. [top]
If you’ve made any changes since the first
time you tried the assignment, you need to push the Restart Trial button. [top]
This is just a default in the Try Assignment program. You will be setting the correct word
number range when you actually set up the assignment for your class. At this
point, you’re only looking at the assignment. [top]
The word count for essays will probably be wrong
if you or the student uses < (less than) or > (greater than) in the
text. The counter gets confused when it sees what it thinks is a part of
the HTML format. You should use > for > and < for <.
A forward arrow (-->) can be --> and a double headed arrow
(<-->) can be <-->.
This is probably because you used some HTML
formatting when you wrote the question. Remember, you and the students use HTML
formatting during text writing. However, you cannot use HTML when writing your
questions for calibration/review. The coding is different in the CPR program. [top]
Yes, you can keep editing the entire assignment,
as long as you do it during the writing stage. DO NOT let the assignment go into the Calibration Stage. If there is any doubt that you won't finish in
time, extend the Text Entry End Time. You DO have to physically upload
the assignment from your library to the classroom assignment. That is necessary
because the program actually makes a copy of the library assignment to your
particular course; it doesn't simply link to the library.
Instructions:
Login -> Enter as Instructor/Designer -> Access Courses -> choose
your course -> Manage Assignments -> Select Assignment -> Activation
-> Update Assignment – Edit -> Edit
On your
assignment page, where you see the bar that gives the choices: Assignment
List, Status, Activation, Progress, and Tools,
click on Activation. The top choice is Update the Assignment - so
click on edit, then click on Update. That's all you need to do.
During the writing stage, everything will be updated. During the
calibration/review stage, only the source material and instructions will be
updated. [top]
Instructors must activate library assignments
for use in their courses. Go to: Login -> Enter as Instructor/Designer
-> Access Courses -> choose your course -> Manage Assignments ->
Activate New Assignment -> Select Assignment. You can then pick an
assignment from the three libraries. [top]
No, you cannot. The CPR program is expressly
written to protect other authors’ assignments from being plagiarized. You
either have to use it the way it is, or rewrite a similar one for your own
Personal Library. [top]
You first need to be sure that you have a course
and that your students have been added to the main database and your class. See
appropriate FAQs. Now, follow the directions laid out in the pdf file called
Instructor – Quick Start. Here they are:
It’s a programming issue. What the UCLA
administrator does is put the assignment number into the title of the
assignment to keep order. [top]
Managing Students During an Assignment:
If you check and they are definitely registered
in your class, chances are they are trying to log in to the UCLA site. Make
sure they are logging into the correct site: cpr.tamu.edu and clicking on the
login page. Otherwise, tell your administrator. [top]
Each CPR stage has a different selection of
tools to use. To see them, go to: Login -> Enter as Instructor/Designer
-> Access Courses -> choose your course -> Manage Assignments ->
Select Assignment -> Tools. [top]
Open a new window on your browser and work using
one window on the student information and one window on the particular tool
under Tools. To do this, click on File on the top toolbar of your browser; click on New and then click on Window. You may find this technique useful for other
tasks as well.[top]
The word count for essays will probably be wrong
if you or the student uses < (less than) or > (greater than) in the
text. The counter gets confused when it sees what it thinks is a part of
the HTML format. [top]
Students can submit their essays as many times
as they wish up to the deadline. They may save their work as they go along, but
they must click on the submit button for their final version. It’s
probably better to just use the submit button, so they don’t forget. [top]
There are three different scenarios. (1) The
student is not telling you the truth, and you have to deal with that issue.
Note: The CPR administrator now has the ability to see who has actually logged
onto the CPR server by their CPR Username. Contact Dr. Wendy Keeney-Kennicutt with the student's CPR Username and date when
the student claims he/she was on. (2) She saved her essay, but didn’t
submit it. You can go to the Tools listing, choose Submit Text for an Individual
Student, enter her UIN or CPR ID and you should see her essay in the box. Click
on Submit. (3) The server/program timed her out and she
didn’t realize it (very common).
Whenever someone is writing in a textbox for a certain period of time, the server and/or the program thinks the student/instructor is not working and will disconnect him or her from the server. This is very common and the CPR program has no record of their being on the server. However, it is now possible to check the server log to verify that the student was working on CPR. See (1). When the student hits the submit button, he or she immediately get taken to the login page and the essay never gets submitted. Therefore, you need to either tell your students to save/submit (submit is a better option – they can submit as many times as they wish up to the deadline) their work every 15 minutes or so, or, as a much better alternative, write the assignment in a word processing program. It is very easy for them to spell check and grammar check, then copy and paste the text into the textbox. This second alternative procedure is definitely recommended for your students. If they keep a copy and get disconnected, they can always reconnect and resubmit their essays. You can have her email her essay to you and you can submit it through Tools. [top]
Sometimes the submission tool doesn’t work
the first time. Try again. Check to be sure it did work by using the bottom
tool under Tools: Access Assignment as Student. You will then be able to see what your student
is seeing. [top]
Of course, you can. Go to: Login -> Enter
as Instructor/Designer -> Access Courses -> choose your course ->
Manage Assignments -> Select Assignment -> Edit the Assignment Timing.
[top]
Yes, you can. Go to: Login -> Enter as
Instructor/Designer -> Access Courses -> choose your course -> Manage
Assignments -> Select Assignment -> Pause Assignment. You can also
find this option using Tools. [top]
Yes, you can keep editing the assignment, as
long as you do it during the writing stage. DO NOT let the assignment go into the Calibration Stage. If there is any doubt that you won't finish in
time, extend the Text Entry End Time. You DO have to physically upload
the assignment from your library to the classroom assignment. That is necessary
because the program actually makes a copy of the library assignment to your
particular course; it doesn't simply link to the library.

On your assignment page, where you see the bar that gives the choices: assignment list, status, activation, progress, and tools, click on activation. The top choice is "Update the Assignment" - so click on edit, then click on Update. That's all you need to do. During the writing stage, everything will be updated. During the calibration/review stage, only the source material and instructions will be updated. [top]
Yes. Instructors can customize the timing for an
individual student. This is very useful if a student does not complete her work
by the required deadline. Extensions can be granted for both the text entry and
review states. To customize timing: Login -> Enter as Instructor/Designer
-> Access Courses -> choose your course -> Manage Assignments ->
Select Assignment -> Tools -> Customize Timing for Individual Student(s).
[top]
You have some choices. Using Tools, you can Customize Timing for Individual Student or you
can Submit Text for Individual Student. Usually the better choice is for you to submit
their text. Otherwise, they might not read their email in time and miss the
deadline extension. Go to: Login -> Enter as Instructor/Designer ->
Access Courses -> choose your course -> Manage Assignments -> Select
Assignment -> Tools -> Submit Text. Enter the student’s UIN
number or their CPR ID. You can get both from the Student Listing for your class: Open a new browser window and
either use the back button to get to Manage Students, or from the beginning, go to: Login ->
Enter as Instructor/Designer -> Access Courses -> choose your course
-> Manage Students.
IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CLASSES, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE SUBMITTING THE STUDENT’S WORK INTO THE CORRECT CLASS! If you submit the student’s work into a class in which they are not registered, you will not get an error, but a blank essay will show up for the student chosen to review that essay and that student will get a zero for that essay. [top]
This is the way CPR was set up. A student who
hasn’t done the original writing assignment is not deemed qualified to
critique his or her peers. He either has to get a 0 for the assignment, or you
have to allow him to submit his text late. One instructor suggested that you
could opt to submit the low quality calibration for the student as a penalty if
you explain that ahead of time. [top]
Go to Tools, Customize Timing, and extend her
deadline. Watch out! The default year is LAST year. Sometimes the
extension doesn’t work on the first try. Check to be sure it worked by
using the Access as Student tool, to be sure the student is allowed to
continue. If not, try again. [top]
This situation can occur when you, the
instructor, accidentally submit a student's essay into the wrong class. If you
submit the student’s work into a class in which they are not registered,
several problems will develop. You will not get an error message, but a blank
essay will show up for the students chosen to review that essay and those
students will get zeros for their reviews of that essay. You will have to track
down the students who were given the non-essay to review and fix their scores.
Also, the student who wrote the essay will not be able to do the assignment,
because the essay was never submitted into the right class. Hopefully, the
student will contact you. [top]
Avoiding this situation is why I have one extra
assignment – a makeup assignment given near the end of the semester.
However, you may really want a student to complete the assignment. Once the
assignment is finished, Tools will no longer have the option for you to submit text. Have the
student email you his text. You’ll then have to quickly edit the timing
of the entire assignment, so that you are back in the writing part of the
assignment, submit his text using Tools, then change the timing back to the original timing. Then, follow
the directions for missing the calibration deadline. IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE
CLASSES, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE SUBMITTING THE STUDENT’S WORK INTO THE
CORRECT CLASS! If you submit the student’s work into a class in which
they are not registered, several problems will develop. You will not get an
error message, but a blank essay will show up for the students chosen to review
that essay and those students will get zeros for their reviews of that essay.
You will have to track down the students who were given the non-essay and fix
their scores. Also, the student who wrote the essay will not be able to do the
assignment, because the essay was never submitted into the right class.
Hopefully, the student will contact you.
Two problems might arise. (1) His rating of his peers may change their grades after they have looked at them. You’ll need to go into the Student Data to see who he critiqued and make a judgment as to whether or not you’ll change their grades back (another option under Tools). (2) If everybody who wrote an essay completed the assignment, there may not be any essays for the person to review. One essay can only be given to three different people. You may need to print out three essays and have them review them by hand, according to your rubric. [top]
Go to: Login -> Enter as
Instructor/Designer -> Access Courses -> choose your course -> Manage
Assignments -> click on the assignment of interest -> Student Results.
You have the option of displaying Less Info or More Info. [top]
There are several tools for downloading student
results under Tools. Go to: Login -> Enter as Instructor/Designer -> Access
Courses -> choose your course -> Manage Assignments -> Select
Assignment -> Tools -> Download Options. You can download basic
results, extended results, text entries and submission data. [top]
Yes, you can edit either a student’s text
rating or a student’s overall assignment score after the assignment is
completed. This tool can be found under Tools, or by clicking on the
student’s name under Student Results. [top]
These students will be found on the Problems List under Tools. Go to: Login -> Enter as
Instructor/Designer -> Access Courses -> choose your course -> Manage
Assignments -> Select Assignment -> Tools -> Problem List. You can
click on the person’s name, look at their reviewers and change their
scores if necessary. You have the option of either changing the problem
student’s score only (your comments will only be seen by that student),
or letting the score cascade to the people who reviewed him or her (your comments
will be seen by the student and his reviewers). [top]
This next procedure is what I always do after
I've taken care of the "problem" students. Go to the Student Results. Go to: Login -> Enter as
Instructor/Designer -> Access Courses -> choose your course -> Manage
Assignments -> Select Assignment -> Student Results. On the gray
header, you have a choice of looking at "Less Info" or "More
Info." Select "More Info" and press "Reload". The
farthest right hand columns deal with Self-Assessment. You can quickly scan
down the list, identify the students who missed points on their
self-assessments by a very small margin - sometimes only by 0.01 of a point.
Once identified, you can give them extra points by clicking on their name, then
editing their overall score. [top]
This situation can occur when you, the
instructor, accidentally submit a student's essay into the wrong class. If you
submit the student’s work into a class in which they are not registered,
several problems will develop. You will not get an error message, but a blank
essay will show up for the students chosen to review that essay and those
students will get zeros for their reviews of that essay. You will have to track
down the students who were given the non-essay to review and fix their scores.
Also, the student who wrote the essay will not be able to do the assignment,
because the essay was never submitted into the right class. Hopefully, the
student will contact you. [top]
Yes, you can. Under Tools, CPR allows instructors to edit scoring and grading information
after the assignment is finished. To edit scoring or grading information, go
to: Login -> Enter as Instructor/Designer -> Access Courses ->
choose your course -> Manage Assignments -> Select Assignment -> Tools
-> Edit Assignment Settings. After doing so, CPR gives you the option Update Records Later? When you choose this, it seems to update the
records immediately. If you are unsure if your records have been updated or
not, go back to Tools and choose Update All Records. [top]
Extend the Assignment Timing to some time in the
future, then PAUSE the assignment. No one can get to the assignment but you. To
look at the data, unpause the assignment and END it again to a time in the
past. To edit Timing, go to: Login -> Enter as Instructor/Designer ->
Access Courses -> choose your course -> Manage Assignments -> Select
Assignment -> push the EDIT button by Assignment Timing. You'll also see
the PAUSE/UNPAUSE button right there. [top]
One way is to do the following (since they put
in HTML tags):
Contact your administrator immediately. She or
he simply has to add another course to your list of courses, e.g. a practice
course, and all your courses will appear. The programmers don’t know why
this happens occasionally, but the problem has an easy fix. [top]
Yes, you can. Unlike
WebCT, you can definitely use the back button. [top]
