New feature: Teachers can access participant data
January was a busy month over here, while we worked hard to deliver the features that you need for your science fairs. Today we're excited to announce a new feature called "Teacher Access".
The teachers and staff at your school may need to see the list of students who are registered for the science fair. In particular, they may wish to know which students from their own classes are signed up. However, as the coordinator, you probably do not want to share your coordinator password with them, because then they they would be granted full administrative access to your account.
Now Our Science Fair includes a feature that allows you to give teachers the ability to view the list of participants without giving them the ability to make any changes to the data. To enable this, visit your Account management page, and assign a separate "Teacher password" of your choosing:
If the teacher password is blank, then teachers will not be able to access the data. If you do assign a teacher password, then you will need to somehow inform the teachers of the password. They will need to enter this password in order to be able to access the data. Make sure that the password is not shared beyond the trusted teachers and staff at your school.
Instruct your teachers to visit your science fair website, and click on the "Teachers" link in the upper-right corner:
They will be taken to a page where they will need to enter the teacher password:
Once they enter the correct password, they will be able to view the list of registered participants for the entire school. They can sort the columns, or filter the records by grade level or teacher. They can also download the data to a spreadsheet if they need to save it or manipulate it further.
If you decide to use this feature, let us know what you think ... we'd love to get your feedback!
