NOTICE: In version 2.3 the pupils pages module is renamed to 'Class pages'.
In version 2.3 Teachers can also have pages on the site and the 'Protected area' (the intranet where only teachers have access to).
'Class page' means 'teachers and pupils' pages'. Also the project pages can be managed via this module.
The Class pages module (formerly: pupils pages) of Site@School has the following features:
- Management of pupils, teachers and project pages, i.e. you can create, view, delete and approve pages for the pupils, the teachers and for projects.
- Up to 99 pages on the site for each teacher and pupil. We recommend you do not to give this number of pages to pupils.
This number is set in 'Configuration' > 'Working environment'.
- Unlimited number of pages for a project.
- When an individual has more pages, automatic links are provided to link her pages.
- Only pages with content are shown on the site.
- A WYSIWYG text editor with the same features as the FCK editor. Individuals cannot change the location of their pages.
- A login screen on the site where pupils and teachers can login to work on their pages.
- The same login screen can be used for teachers to login and check the pupils' pages of her class. This is a handy feature of Site@School because you do not have to bother teachers with S@S Management.
- Teachers can create new pupils, and set their e-mail alert.
- Teachers can create pages for their pupils. After creating, teachers can view, approve and/or delete pupils' pages.
- An e-mail alert function that sends an email to the teacher when a pupil has modified a page (if this function is set to 'yes' in 'Configuration > Pupils > Group X > Pupil Y, or when the function is set to 'yes' in the teacher's screen on the site. The e-mail is sent once a day, to prevent burying the teacher with e-mails for every change in a pupil's page.
- When a teacher has given a pupil her page(s) and the pupil has not yet put any content on the page, that page is not shown.
- The class pages module can be bound to a page in S@S. On that page all classes and pupils can be found. It is also possible to give a class its own page.
- Teachers have their web pages in the upper part of the class pages of their class.
- It's possible to have one page where all the teachers' pages are located. This option can be selected in the pupils' pages module browser.
See the Module manager chapter for details.
- An [Edit] function to change the module name and the program names to fit your language.
See the Module manager chapter for details on how to change the names.

Before you can use the programs in the Pupil's pages module, they have to be connected to pages on your site. The module has five options:
- Teacher/Pupils login: A login page for teachers and pupils. You can have multiple login pages.
- View pupil pages: A page on the site where all pupil pages can be viewed. All the classes are displayed on one page.
- View class pages per class: Allows you to have one page per class.
- View pupil pages per project: One page where all project pages can be viewed.
- Teacher pages: Allows you to have one page where all the teachers' pages can be seen.

The class page module is a bit complicated because all three groups in Site@School (users, teachers and pupils) make use of the module in various ways on the site and in S@S Module Management:
- Pupils can login on the site, go to their pages and edit their pages with the page editor.
- Teachers can login on the site and give pupils pages. After that they can approve / disapprove / delete pupil's pages. They can also add pupils to their class.
- Teachers can edit their pages with the page editor.
- Users can also login on S@S Management to manage pupils' pages when they have the appropriate access rights.
Go to the Module browser and click on 'Class pages'. You will see:

mod_ppl_site_teacher_pp_add.jpg
Explanation:
- Full name: Please fill in the pupil's full name. When a full primary school uses the system, it's likely that a 'Mary' already exists. In many places in Site@School you will find your name.
- User name: Here you can put on any name as long as it's not already in use by any other user of Site@School.
- Password: Put in a password that is difficult for others but easy for the pupil.
- Email address: Same as above. The email address is used as the reply address when the teacher wants to reply easily to the automatic e-mail send by the system when a pupil has modified her/his personal page and the option 'check pupil's page' is set to 'on' when a pupil is added to a class.
- Check pupil's pages(Y/N): By putting the radio button on 'Yes', every time a pupil changes something on her page,
the teacher must check the page and approve the page before it becomes visible on the site. An email is sent to the teacher with the pupil page content.
An email is only sent to the teacher once a day.
- Send E-mail(Y/N): By choosing 'Yes' a confirmation email with a link to the pupils page is sent to the teacher, once a day,
when a change is made to the pupil's page.
- Go back: To return to the previous page.
- Save: To save your work and return to the previous page.
NOTICE: When a teacher creates a pupil via this screen, one pupil's page is immediately created for the pupil.
The other pages for the pupil can be created in the normal way.
When you have added a teachers' or pupils' login page to the site, they can go there and will see:

mod_ppl_t+p_login.png
After logging in, a pupil sees:

mod_ppl_site_ppl_edit.jpg
When a pupil clicks on 'Edit' the page editor opens and she can modify her page.
See the editor manual for further details.
When a pupil has put something on her personal page, or has modified her personal page and clicked on 'Save' in the page editor,
there are three possibilities:
- The pupil's page can be seen directly on the site.
- The pupil's page can be seen directly on the site and a confirmation email is sent to his/her teacher.
- The pupil's page can NOT be seen directly and an e-mail is send to his/her teacher, notifying that the pupil asks approval of her personal page.
This all depends on how this setup, see bullets [5] and [6] in the topic above.
The e-mails are only sent once a day, preventing the teacher being flooded with emails every time pupils save their changes.
NOTICE: When a pupil is not a member of a project, no project will be visible.
When you have added the 'View pupil's pages' pages to your site, visitors can go there and see:

mod_ppl_site_pps_view.png
When a visitor clicks on a class name, the class opens and you can see the pupils in the class. When you click on a pupil, you can choose between her/his personal pages. In the pages you find links to other pages of that pupil.
