The SIMnet Course Manager starts at your Dashboard where you can view the assignment schedules, past-due assignments, integrity violations, student login activity, and earned credentials.

The dashboard has the following components: Assignment Schedule, Past Due Assignments, Integrity Violations, Credentials Earned, and Student Activity. The dashboard components contain information about students and assignments in the courses you teach. By default, the dashboard displays all courses that you are currently assigned to.

1. Past Due Assignments

View all Integrity Violations, if there are any, by clicking the yellow clock icon in the Integrity Violations section. You will be notified if a student attempts to submit an assignment that does not contain their own original work.

This section displays the login history of your students including how many of the students enrolled in your class are active, how many have been idle for a week or longer, and how many have not logged into SIMnet at all. By clicking on each piece of the pie chart, you can view exactly which students are active, idle, or not participating.

You can view all credentials earned by students by clicking the View All link. When students have completed assignments of varying degrees of difficulty, they will earn Level 1, 2, 3, or 4 credentials indicating their levels of mastery of a subject. With each credential, a certificate of achievement is awarded to the student so that you can keep track of their progress in the course, and so they can keep track of their success with that module.

Credentials are grouped together by type earned. Click the desired grouping either by clicking the text or the desired group in the pie chart. Level 1 credentials are indicated with a White belt, Level 2 credentials are indicated with a Yellow belt, Level 3 credentials are indicated with a purple belt, and Level 4 credentials are indicated with a black belt.
