Instructor Guidelines

Be sure to request Augustana Proctoring Services when creating your class test definition in ClockWork's Instructor Services portal. 

All members of the university community contribute to accessible work and study environments. The duty to accommodate is a legal obligation, and instructors are expected to coordinate with Proctoring, Accessibility and Student Success (PASS) to ensure that approved accommodations are implemented. To minimize barriers to student learning in your courses, please collaborate with PASS in the following ways:

AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH TERM

  • Provide students with course outlines that include descriptions of course expectations, activities, and delivery. These details are required for us to evaluate barriers to participation and approve accommodations appropriately.
  • Include assessment dates, times, and duration in course outlines. These details are required for students to correctly register their exams in ClockWork.
  • Enter all scheduled course exams (including quizzes, tests, midterms, and finals) in ClockWork's Instructor Services portal, and create class test definitions by answering the questions. This reduces the likelihood of students submitting incorrect information.

THROUGHOUT EACH TERM

  • Review student Letter of Accommodation notifications you receive or by adding the Approved Student Accommodations Dashboard in eClass.
  • Submit a digital file of your exam through ClockWork's Instructor Services portal a minimum of 5 days before the exam.
  • Collaborate with students and Proctoring, Accessibility & Student Success to coordinate approved accommodations and determine accommodation solutions.
  • For information on how to provide and collect test material through Augustana Proctoring Services, please visit the Augustana Proctoring Services page.

FOR FURTHER SUPPORT

  • Consult with the Centre for Teaching and Learning to learn more about how to design, create and provide accessible course materials and assessments.
  • Email us at augar@ualberta.ca if you have questions or concerns about how specific accommodations might work in your course or you require assistance with your students’ accommodations.
