By
default, the standard Assignments in Manage IT! operate
using either a Tutor or Test Preference
Set. These settings determine how IT! behaves with a
particular student or group of students and what resources
will be available to those students.
Using the Preference Editor in Manage IT!, you are able to adjust certain
settings to change the way IT! operates. Adjustments can be made in four
different categories, separated by the tabs near the top left of your
screen, entitled Progression, Scoring, Access, and Miscellaneous. Each
of the categories have two sub-categories for making adjustments, separated
by two boxes within each category. The upper box contains preference
settings with a numeric or text value, while the lower box contains “on” or “off” preference
settings.
Note: When
you are logged in as the Administrator and are creating
a Preference Set for a specific instructor, you should
click on the emulate button (an e in a white
circle) to choose that instructor. This will cause that
instructor’s initials to be prepended to the name
of the Preference Set instead of ADM (the Administrator’s
initials key). You should have already done this in Lesson
5.
