Chapter 4. A tutorial for administrators
The intent of this chapter is to provide the first time system administrator with a tour of the capabilities of Manhattan's administrative system. Follow this tutorial and you'll:
-
Create two "Normal" courses.
-
Create a "Course Template" that the teacher can use to store course materials for re-use.
-
Create a "Standalone Course" for the Physics Club.
-
Login as a teacher to see his view of Manhattan.
-
Get an overview of how you, as system administrator, can:
-
Configure courses
-
Work with user accounts
-
Delete courses and users
-
When you are done with the tutorial, your new Manhattan distribution will be exactly where it was when you first installed Manhattan, and you'll be ready to start creating real classrooms for your school.

In each case, replace http(s) with https if your server supports SSL, or with http if you are not yet using SSL. Of course, you'll need to replace YOURSERVER.edu with the name of your server. |
