Initial Setup
- An administrator user must set up Autolab initially with themselves as a user. This is outside the scope of this documentation as it involves manually doing so by inserting a record into the database.
- Afterward, they are able to add other types of users, the first likely being an instructor.
- Go to: “Manage Autolab” > “Manage Users” > “Create User”
Then:
- You as an instructor user will then be able to set up their course.
Add all users to Autolab course roster
- The most likely first action for your course is to add your students and TA’s to the roster. To do this, follow the below steps.
- Go to: “Manage Course” > “Manage Users” > “Import Roster/Users”
- There are a variety of data formats listed there that Autolab will parse.
- Sakai and Canvas formats will be the most likely
- There are additional settings which are detailed more in-depth below in section “usersettings”
Add users individually via “Add User to Course”
- This may be useful for certain one-off users like students/TA’s added to the course late
- It is important to mention here that, due to this site being integrated with CAS, all user emails must be of the format @rutgers.edu or they will be unable to login to Autolab
