The basic settings of a course in Vocareum are:

• Title
• Course Name
• Course Image (Optional)
  If you upload an image, this will be displayed in the Card View when listing the course.
• Time zone: Used for all the time sensitive settings, such as submission due dates.
• End Date: Date when the course ends. As a teacher you cannot change this date. After this date students will no longer be able to work on their projects. As a teacher or admin, you will continue to have access to the platform.
• Access End Date: Students can no longer work on their projects or access their data after the specified “End Date”. As an instructor, you are able to change the Access End Date.

Vocareum is integrated with your Brightspace course through LTI 1.3. Do not toggle the LTI button off.

• LTI version
  Vocareum supports LTI version 1.3. Do not change this setting.
• Show all assignments
  Should be OFF if you want Vocareum to only show the assignment that the student entered via Brightspace. If this option is set to ON, the student can navigate to other published assignments from their Vocareum window.
• Auto Create Sections
  If enabled, sections will be create based on your course’s Brightspace ID. Manually created sections in Vocareum are then automatically overwritten.

Skilljar Settings are not supported in TU Delft’s Vocareum environment.

• No Submission
  When this setting is enabled students can run their notebook but cannot submit their work.
• Mastery Levels
  This feature allows you to specify an order in which students must complete assignments by assigning a “level” (integer) to each part of an assignment. Assignments with lower levels must be successfully completed before assignments with higher levels may be attempted.
  The level numbers do not need to be contiguous.

• Sections
  You can divide your class into two or more sections in order to manage each section independently (assignment publication and timelines).

• Slip Days
  Slip days are used to compute how many days a student is late for a submission when a deadline has been set. When a student is graded, the late penalty (if set) will be calculated accordingly.
