Formbar is a classroom management tool that allows students rich and automated interaction. The core of the Formbar is access to a LED light bar or online virtual bar where information about the class can be displayed. This is normally the answer to a teacher prompt, such as a text response to a question, or a survey like poll with a multitude of possible responses. There's also a multitude of classroom management features to make teaching as fun and easy as possible.
When logging in to the Formbar, the user will be sent to a screen with three different options. Log In, New Account, and Use as Guest.
- Log In
This option shows two boxes to input your username and password to log into the Formbar. When attempting to log in, the user is also presented with a Forgot Username button. At the moment, this page does not exist, but when it is complete, we will update this wiki page to include the descriptions of its functions.
- New Account
Like the Log In page, the New Account page has two text boxes where you can input your username and password. After you have chosen them, you can click "Create Account" and be registered onto the Formbar.
- Use as Guest
This feature is currently unavailable. When it is complete, more will be added to this section of the database.
- Creating A Class (/createclass)
When you first log in (or sign up) as a teacher, you will be greeted with a page prompting you to create a class if you do not already have one. Simply enter the name of the class into the text prompt and hit the "Create" button to create and join that class. If you have already created a class, you will see a drop down menu will all of the classes you've created so far, a button that says "Go", which will sign you into that class, and then the same prompt from before that you can use to create a new class.
- Joining A Class (/selectclass)
When you first log in (or sign up) as a student, you will be greeted with a page prompting you to join a class. Simply enter the class code provided to you by the teacher and hit the "Submit" button to join the class.
After logging in, both teachers and students will see a menu with six options: Student Panel, Teacher Controls, Virtual Bar, Help Ticket Creation, Plugins, and Take Break.
