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
