Welcome to CAOLA 

0:00:02.240,0:00:06.800
Today I will show you how to login to 
your courses for the very first time 

0:00:06.800,0:00:10.080
We will talk about what 
Genius is, and how to login 

0:00:10.080,0:00:14.640
how to communicate in Genius, how to 
track your progress, launch your courses 

0:00:14.640,0:00:19.840
and most importantly, how to get help.
Let's first talk about Genius 

0:00:19.840,0:00:23.440
Genius is our student information hub
It is a one stop shop for you  

0:00:23.440,0:00:27.680
to see your courses and progress
and communicate with your instructors

0:00:27.680,0:00:30.960
When your account is first created 
you will receive an email from Genius  

0:00:30.960,0:00:33.920
with your login information
If you cannot find this email,  

0:00:33.920,0:00:40.320
please check your spam folder
Lets pull that email up now

0:00:40.320,0:00:43.840
Here's an example of what 
that email will look like 

0:00:43.840,0:00:46.720
It will contain several pieces 
of important information 

0:00:46.720,0:00:50.560
such as the url to login
your initial username 

0:00:50.560,0:00:54.000
and a link to reset your password

0:00:54.000,0:00:56.720
let's walk through resetting our password now 

0:00:56.720,0:01:02.400
you will need to click the link and 
follow the instructions to reset it

0:01:02.400,0:01:04.400
click the link here 

0:01:04.400,0:01:09.120
that will bring you to the reset password screen
from there, you can enter in a new password 

0:01:09.120,0:01:17.600
make sure your password's 
secure and not easy to guess!

0:01:17.600,0:01:20.880
From there, click submit

0:01:22.720,0:01:26.720
It will automatically log you into your 
account once you've reset your password 

0:01:26.720,0:01:31.520
But let's take a look and explore how to 
login when we're not resetting our password

0:01:31.520,0:01:35.360
Let's try logging in with 
our new username and password 

0:01:35.360,0:01:37.600
First, pull up a blank browser 

0:01:37.600,0:01:41.760
Make sure you are using Google 
Chrome or Mozilla Firefox

0:01:41.760,0:01:51.360
In the web navigation bar
Please go to caola.caiu.org/login 

0:01:51.360,0:02:00.800
That will bring you to the genius login page
Let's enter our new information now

0:02:00.800,0:02:06.480
Great that worked! We're all logged in.
If you've successfully logged in too, great job! 

0:02:06.480,0:02:10.480
If you were unable to login, we will 
need to get some additional help

0:02:10.480,0:02:13.120
Please make sure to let your advisor, a teacher,  

0:02:13.120,0:02:16.400
or your guidance counselor know 
that you are unable to login. 

0:02:16.400,0:02:23.440
They will be able to assist you in resetting 
your password to get you logged in.

0:02:23.440,0:02:28.480
Now that we're logged in, lets talk about 
navigating Genius, starting with communication.

0:02:28.480,0:02:31.040
There are several ways to 
communicate within the system.

0:02:31.040,0:02:35.440
For example, you can send and receive 
messages, you can view your announcements,  

0:02:35.440,0:02:38.800
and most importantly, you can 
contact your teachers for help.

0:02:38.800,0:02:42.000
Let's take a look now.

0:02:42.000,0:02:45.680
From your Genius homepage, you can 
access your messages from here on  

0:02:45.680,0:02:51.680
the left hand side or up here 
at the top navigation bar.

0:02:51.680,0:02:56.880
From the message center, you can compose 
and reply to emails. Let's make an email  

0:02:56.880,0:03:01.120
now. In the subject box, you will want 
to enter in who you're trying to email.

0:03:01.120,0:03:03.760
Let's email one of our teachers now.

0:03:03.760,0:03:08.800
Once you've composed your email, click send.

0:03:08.800,0:03:12.000
Now, that email has successfully 
sent to your teacher.

0:03:12.000,0:03:15.280
When you have new emails, 
they'll appear here as well.

0:03:15.280,0:03:18.240
Let's take a look at our announcements.

0:03:18.240,0:03:22.240
Announcements will always populate 
up here. You'll have a little badge  

0:03:22.240,0:03:25.920
when there are new announcements. 
Let's click on that screen now.\

0:03:25.920,0:03:31.040
Right now, we have no new announcements.

0:03:31.040,0:03:34.080
Finally, lets take a look at 
how to find our teachers email  

0:03:34.080,0:03:38.160
address so that we can email them 
outside of Genius if we need help.

0:03:38.160,0:03:44.800
You can find this by going to the course 
information tab on the left hand side.

0:03:44.800,0:03:48.640
From there, you'll see information 
regarding each of your courses,  

0:03:48.640,0:03:52.720
including your teachers name and email address.

0:03:52.720,0:03:55.600
You can also click "email teacher" right below to  

0:03:55.600,0:04:02.400
send them a new email from the 
message center within Genius.

0:04:02.400,0:04:03.280
Great job!

0:04:03.280,0:04:05.520
Now you know how to login and communicate

0:04:05.520,0:04:08.560
Another important thing to learn, 
is how to check your progress

0:04:08.560,0:04:10.560
There are several ways to monitor progress in  

0:04:10.560,0:04:14.160
Genius such as the academic 
snapshot or your gradebook.

0:04:14.160,0:04:19.200
Before we get started, please be aware that 
Genius takes 24 hours to sync with your courses.

0:04:19.200,0:04:22.960
Any work that you do today will not 
show up until tomorrow. You can learn  

0:04:22.960,0:04:27.920
how to see live information in 
the Course Navigation video.

0:04:27.920,0:04:32.560
Let's start with the academic snapshot. The 
information on your dashboard is going to be  

0:04:32.560,0:04:39.200
identical to the academic snapshot on 
the left-hand side, lets go there now.

0:04:39.200,0:04:43.200
As you can see, it looks the same as it 
did on your dashboard. You'll see several  

0:04:43.200,0:04:46.800
pieces of important information, 
such as the title of your course,  

0:04:46.800,0:04:51.760
the instructor of your course, the dates 
that you have to complete your work.

0:04:51.760,0:04:54.560
This first date will be the first 
date that you have access to begin  

0:04:54.560,0:04:58.720
working and this will be the last date 
that you have to complete homework.

0:04:59.440,0:05:02.480
You'll see information about how 
many assignments you've completed,  

0:05:02.480,0:05:08.320
your pacing, what your last activity was and 
how many zero's you've received in the course.

0:05:08.320,0:05:12.640
On this progress bar down here, the top 
number will be your actual current progress  

0:05:12.640,0:05:19.440
in the course, and the grey number will be 
where we expect you to be within the course.

0:05:19.440,0:05:22.960
You can also see information 
through the gradebook. You  

0:05:22.960,0:05:26.880
can access that here on the left-hand side.

0:05:26.880,0:05:30.640
From there you will see that same 
information in a different format  

0:05:30.640,0:05:35.760
with your start and end date, your 
grade, assignments and your teachers.

0:05:35.760,0:05:40.960
We've covered a lot so far! One more thing we 
need to learn, is how to access our courses.

0:05:40.960,0:05:43.360
You can access your courses by navigating to the  

0:05:43.360,0:05:47.600
academic snapshot we looked at earlier and 
clicking the launch button. You may also  

0:05:47.600,0:05:51.280
do this from your default Genius 
dashboard when you first log in.

0:05:51.280,0:05:53.920
You may be enrolled in classes 
with multiple platforms,  

0:05:53.920,0:05:59.200
so it is important to click 
launch on each course card.

0:05:59.200,0:06:05.760
Here's the launch button now. Click this launch 
button to open your Advanced Music Theory course.

0:06:05.760,0:06:09.200
Congratulations, you've 
successfully launched your course.

0:06:09.200,0:06:15.120
To learn how to navigate in your course system, 
please watcht the Course Navigation video.

0:06:15.120,0:06:19.200
If you need any help with anything we've 
talked about today, please let an advisor,  

0:06:19.200,0:06:22.492
your teacher or your guidance counselor 
know so that they can help you.
