a Prescription (a sequential series of Assignments for
a student to work) |

Choose Rx
Editor from the Tabs menu. |

Select
the title from the Titles pull-down menu
from which you want to choose the first Assignment that the
student(s) will work. A list of all of the available Assignments
for that title will appear in the box on the left. |

Click
on the Custom radio button on the right.
Type in a name for your Prescription in the Rx Name field. |

Choose
the Assignment(s) you want the student to work. You can scroll
the Assignment list menu to the right to see what Preference
Set is attached to each Assignment. To change the preferences,
click on the arrow box. Drag Assignments from the list on
the left to the box on the right or select them and click
on the Add Selected Assignment(s) to Rx button.
The student will work the Assignments in the order they are
listed, so make sure you put them in the correct order. You
can drag items up or down in the list to change the order. |

If you
only want to prescribe items from this title, then click
on Save to save your Prescription. If you
want the student to work Assignments from another title,
select that title from the Titles pull-down
menu now. Add Assignments from this title as you did in step

for your site. |

If you
are logged in as the Administrator and are creating a Prescription
for a specific instructor, you should click on the e button
to choose that instructor. This will cause that instructor’s
initials to be prepended to the name of the Prescription
instead of ADM (the Administrator’s
initials key). |

When you
are done adding Assignments to your Prescription and have
them listed in the order you want the student(s) to work
them, click on Save to save your Prescription.
Your 3-character instructor code will be added to the beginning
of the name of the Assignment. |
