On August 28th, the myCambrian Faculty Dashboard was updated, and the course links now direct users to the application home pages rather than pages to the specific CRN. This post will guide you through the changes.
Quick Links
Faculty Dashboard
The faculty dashboard currently contains the same icons that link to important course information. However, some links direct you to a different place than in previous terms.
eGrades
Clicking the eGrades icon opens the main eGrades Production Site. Use the navigation bar at the top to navigate.
When you click any link in the top navigation bar, you will be prompted to select your course from the dropdown menu. From there, you can proceed with the regular functions in eGrades.
Moodle
Clicking the Moodle icon now brings you to the Moodle Home page. The Home page lists all courses that you are enrolled in as a teacher, non-editing teacher, or student. You can search for your courses by pressing CTRL+F or by using the search box at the top of the page.
Click My Courses for another view of your Moodle courses. You can customize this list by starring or hiding (removing from view) the courses on this page. Click here for instructions on searching for and starring Moodle courses.
Tips:
- When searching include a hyphen in your course codes, between the letters and numbers. E.g., ENG–1002 or MTH–1010
- Moodle displays the term in the course card titles above the course code. This can help locate your current courses, or search for the term (e.g., 202509). Example:
- If a course is hidden in the settings, it will appear greyed out at the bottom of the list on your Home page.
Course Outline
To find a course outline, click the link from myCambrian, search for your course using the dropdown menus, and then click the Show Courses button. The Course Prefix is the first three letters of your course code, and the current term is 202526.
After entering the course information and clicking Show Courses, you will see the published course outlines that match your criteria. Click any link to open that course outline.
Syllabus
The syllabus link will bring you to the new landing page for the CRN Syllabus tool.
Click the Access Syllabus button next to a course to open the CRN Syllabus tool.
Note: Alternatively, you may choose to download a syllabus template from the Hub website, instead of building one in the syllabus tool. If you create your syllabus using the Word document template, you can simply upload the saved document to your course Moodle shell.
CRN Schedule
The CRN schedule icon brings you to the Timetable view for that CRN.
Synchronous deliveries are displayed in the weekly view on the dates and times they are offered.
Note: In-person deliveries will only display a room number. Virtual deliveries (online/synchronous) will show VIRT, but no room number. Flex and HyFlex deliveries show the room number and “VIRT” (e.g., 3412/VIRT) to indicate that it is taught in-person and via Zoom at the same time.
Online and courses are listed in a table at the top of the page.
Class List
The links for the Class List and Email Class are included now direct you to the CRN Listing page, which displays your courses. First, click the Subject title to display your class list.
Note, clicking Course Title or CRN will open a different menu. You must click on the subject name to open the class list.
Email Class
To email your class, click the subject and then check the boxes next to the student(s) to email. You can then click the Email icon (✉️) at the top-right of this section. The email addresses for your selected students will be populated in your computer’s default mail application.
Note: The Banner class list does not display email addresses. To view student email addresses, navigate to your course’s Moodle page and click Participants from the top menu.
