Working with Homework
Homework is at the core of the teacher / student system. Each homework is a "Puzzle", which is a network that can have things wrong with it. For detailed information about creating a puzzle, refer to the Making a Puzzle page.
Creating Homework (For detailed information about creating a puzzle, refer to the Making a Puzzle page.)
As you create a network, and make network tests, you can go up to "Edit" -> "Add to Classwork." This will put that particular network in the list of classwork you can give students. You can always go back to that particular classwork, launch it, and resume editing it. If you wish to make changes to a network, be sure to go to "edit" -> "Update Classwork" to save the changes.
One common problem to have is to take a puzzle and solve it, to test the puzzle out so you know how to do it, and then to accidentally save it in it's solved state. Every time you exit EduNetworkBuilder, it re-writes your file. It keeps backups of those files, which you can always go back to (or, go back and export a homework out from it so you can import it into a newer file).
Adding it to your Class library "Edit" -> "Add to Classwork." This will put that particular network in the list of classwork you can give students.
Adding it to the available classwork does not make it accessible to students. Your classwork file is yours, and yours alone until you choose to share it with the students. So it is safe to have all your classwork that you want to use for your class all prepped and sitting there in your classwork. Then, you can issue it at your leisure.
Giving it to Students There are two main methods for issuing homework. You can include it in with the initial student file, or you can give the students a "homework file" that they can click on and import the homework later on.
Every time you add files to the student files, you need to give the files back to them. This process may have some data loss (if they have done something between the time they give you the file and you give it back to them). So it is recommended to only populate the student files with homework initially, and then to make individual homework files from that point on.
You can include multiple puzzles in one homework file. This is done by going to your profile -> classwork -> class -> export Homework. It will pop up a list of the puzzles you have in your classwork and let you choose which ones to export.
Importing Student Submissions
Once Students have completed their homework, they need to give you a copy of their student files. You should put them all back into one directory. Open your profile, go to classwork -> students -> "Read In Student Homework"
You will need to select the directory where the student homework is stored. The program will then open each of the students files and pull in any submitted homework.
Grading Homework
EduNetworkBuilder does not care how you grade homework. You can grade by A, B, C, D, and F, or you can grade with 100%, 80%, etc. EduNetworkBuilder does not care. All it does is let you register when you have graded something.
To grade homework, open your profile, go to classwork -> students, and drill down to the student you want to grade their homework. Ungraded homework will be shown in bold.
Launch the homework, and grade it. You should put the grade in with your paperwork. EduNetworkBuilder does not have any place to hold the grade. Track it in a spreadsheet or whatever system your school uses.
Once you have graded the homework, go to "edit" -> "Mark as graded." The program will return to the profile where you can select another homework to grade.
