Customise Student and group icons

The Student and group icons displayed in the Tutor Console can be customised to suit individual requirements. A choice of images can be used and you can apply these to the machine name or the logged on user.

Customise Student and/or group icons

  1. Select the required Student or group from the group bar.

  2. Right-click the Student and click the Customise icon.

    Or

    Select the Group tab in the ribbon and click Customise.

  3. The Image Customisation dialog appears. Select one of the three tabs:

    All Computers Applies the selected image to the machine name.
    Logged on User Name Assigns the image to the user name, so it will load at whatever machine the Student logs onto. This option takes precedence over images applied  to the machine name
    Groups Enables you to apply an image to each defined group of Students.
  4. Select the Student name or group from the list and click Modify. If using the logged on user name option, click Add and enter the Student's logon name.

  5. Browse for the required icon image. A number of default libraries (*.ncl) are provided in the Program folder, or you can select a picture of your own choosing. Highlight the required image and click OK. Repeat this process for any other Students and groups.

  6. Click OK when complete.

Note: Individual Student and group icons can be changed by amending the properties of the selected item. Right-click the Student and click the Properties icon, select the Details tab and click Customise in the Appearance section or click the drop-down icon on the required group tab (mouse over the right-hand side of the group tab to display this), click Properties, select the General tab and click Customise in the Appearance section.
