Update - 9/12/2018 - 10 AM Update

1) We are still working with the textbook vendor Perfection Learning (Marine Science) to get their content loaded. All other science content has been loaded into the CORE-LMS.

2) We are still investigating some hierarchy issues from some teachers that are showing at their previous school. If you click on groups, you should see all of the schools you are associated with. If you only see two groups and not the school you should see, you can click on "more groups" inside of groups to see all the groups you are in. If you have moved to a new school this year, you are still seeing your school from last year. We believe this is due to the fact that you still have access to your courses from last year. We are working with the vendor about this and to see if we can ensure that the school you are defaulted to is coming from the current school you are assigned.

3) If you need assistance, please take a look at the CORE-LMS Manual (https://goo.gl/jBFW9g). If you have an issue, please submit a service desk ticket email to support@ecsd.zendesk.com and we will investigate. If you can provide a fullscreen screenshot, that will help us as well to investigate the issue.

We are down to 8,700 sections that are still copying at about 300 per hour (29 hours left as of 10 PM 8/12). You will know your course is still syncing from the district template as you will see two circling arrows next to the course name. You can still use the system while courses are being synched. If you do not see your section as it appears in FOCUS in the CORE-LMS and it has been 24 hours since your section was created in FOCUS and assigned to you, submit a service desk ticket and let us know the name of the section and school.

Item 2: Users should now be at the correct school location. If you are not at the correct location, please put in a Service Desk Ticket and let us know what school is appearing and what school you should be seeing.

When teachers log in, they should see their courses they are assigned as scheduled in the Student Information System (SIS), also known as FOCUS.
