Changing Haiku Class Owner

To change Haiku class owner:
  • Find class and click on it
  • Click on the the Change Owner Button



Why change class owner?
  • Teacher changes
  • Generic class

When a class is created via Save As the name of the Haiku id that created the class becomes part the link like:
  • https://perspectives.myhaikuclass.com/john.doe/august2014online 
  • https://perspectives.myhaikuclass.com/admin/lateaugust2014online  
If the class is generic, then a generic name like online or shell looks more professional in the class link:
  • https://perspectives.myhaikuclass.com/shell/august2014online
  • https://perspectives.myhaikuclass.com/online/lateaugust2014online 


[Note video not needed - just how to get to button  but was an experiment]

Why statistics?

Note:   Haiku has updated some of their class statistics to be analytics, so some specifics are outdated, BUT the reasons to use analytics have not changed.

Haiku provides us with helpful statistics about the 
  • (whole class) Class statistics on the usage of 
    • the whole class 
    • on individual students 
    • specific pages accessed
  • (section)  Grade statistics on a specific item (review, PR, etc.)
  • (section)  Questions Statistics on how a specific question was answered.

Class statistics 
under Manage Class button drop-down > Statistics 

The four views of class statistics are:
  • Overview 
    • Defaults to current week, but can be changed to the whole present or past months.
    • Unique visitors is approximately how many students have logged
    • Shows which Content have been most viewed
      • Helps to see if students are on track
      • Can see what interests the students most
    • Shows which Users (students) have been most active
      • All users who logged in this week or for selected month
      • If it says less then 5-10 seconds, really longer. It was really too long for Haiku timer.
  • Recent Activity (last 2 weeks)
    • Details for each login session for each student 
    • IP address of the student
  • Content (all)
  • Users (all)

However its clear OPSP has only scratched the surface of Haiku LMS features when reading what others are doing. So some things may seem trivial to other Haiku LMS users who stumble over this blog. But we are learning.
