SEQTA Teach Redesign FAQs

How do I change the Background Colours?

Go to the Home Horkspace > Dashboard Page > Preferences Dashlet. From there, you can choose between the default light theme or an experimental dark theme; select background and accent colours; and choose a background image if your administrator has made one or more available. Click here for a detailed step-by-step guide.

How Can I Fit More on the Screen?

There is an arrow at the top left of the screen to shrink the page menu and an arrow at the top right of the screen to shrink the SIP. You’ll find similar buttons on other pages through SEQTA. Click here for a detailed step-by-step guide.

How Do I Enter Feedback and use Rubrics in the Marks Book?

Click on the [.] icon to enter focus mode. From focus mode, you can see students’ expectations and reflections, as well as enter feedback and result. To return to the marks book, use the button in the top right of the toolbar. Note that you can also navigate between students and assessments within focus mode using the < and > buttons. Click here for a detailed step-by-step guide.

How do I Masquerade as a Student?

At the top of the SIP, click on the vertical ellipsis (...), and choose “masquerade”.

Why doesn't the “Contributes to overall” switch stay toggled in the marks book? This toggle has the same functionality as the old calculator button. It's designed to temporally remove an assessment group’s contribution to the calculated score and grade for each student. If an assessment group should never contribute, set its weight to 0.  Click here for a detailed step-by-step guide.

How do I get to the Knowledge Base / Help Page?

Home Workspace > Help! Page > Knowledge Base button at the top. If the Knowledge base does not open, find the indicator at the top of the page and select Allow popups for this site. Click here for a detailed step-by-step guide.

Will Changes Made to a Rubric in the Library Effect the Places it’s Used?

Once a rubric is added to an assessment it is in effect taking a copy of the rubric from the library. Any changes made to that rubric in the programme do not affect the version in the library.

Can we Remove the Sunday and Saturday From the Calendar View of the Teacher Timetable?

The Calendar view is a week view rather than a working week view. It’s not possible at present to hide Saturday or Sunday from this view.

Why Don't the Media Recording Options Appear When Adding a File?

For media recording to be available, your administrator must have it enabled. Additionally, you will need appropriate hardware (such as a microphone and webcam) and a compatible web browser (at this stage, Firefox or Chrome). Note that your browser will prompt you to grant SEQTA permission to access your microphone and webcam; if you’ve already denied this, you will need to manually allow it again. To do so, click the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar, near the back button.
