ATTENDANCE
To set an online attendance for your students in SPeCTRUM, watch a tutorial video by Dr. Mohd Yazed at link youtube video.
.
Can I use the old Attendance that I have created in the previous semester, for my current semester?
Will the list of students for that attendance be updated?
You may reuse the previous Attendance module. The students or participants will be automatically updated. However, you need to add the class sessions that correspond as in your timetable. The old sessions in the Attendance can be deleted to make it more organized.
Alternatively, you can simply delete the old Attendance module and create a new one, and still, you need to create the 14-week class sessions. Use these options to simplify:
Multiple sessions > Repeat every <1 week>, Repeat Until ). .
QUIZ/ASSIGNMENT
For the quiz or test as well , can I reuse the old Quiz I created in the previous semester, for my current semester?
Yes you can.Please do remember to edit the submission time and other timing related configurations.
Can I delete the announcements that I have made for the last semester?
You can delete the old announcement and other things that are not related to tidy up your coursepage.
Note: the old items should be retrievable from SPeCTRUM Archive (please check the archive. It is accessible if you are in charge of the previous session either as instructor or co-instructor).

COURSE IN SPeCTRUM
I have registered for course ABC123 for this semester, but the course is not showing when I log in to SPeCTRUM.
The SPeCTRUM fetches updated information from MAYA at midnight. If you have just completed course registration in MAYA, there will be a delay for you to see the recently added course.
If you require an immediate update you need to use the "Fetch from MAYA" button.
.
I have been assigned by my PTJ to be an instructor of a course but the course is not visible in my SPeCTRUM portal.
The SPeCTRUM fetches updated information from MAYA at every midnight, so, any recent update information in MAYA will only be reflected in SPECTRUM on the following day.
Note: To address this, we are working on a function called “Fetch From MAYA” for instructors, currently it is not yet available.
If you still cannot see your course after 24 hours, please find your course using the SEARCH button.
