In Schoology, the Admin Console option is the first choice in the Setup Tab.  Teachers often click on this option and then disable office hours, classroom collaboration, etc. thinking it's just for their course.  Can the Admin Console option either be moved to the bottom of the Set Up tab or made visible only to admins in Schoology?

Thank you

Admin Console should only be viewable within the LMS by those with Admin Roles.  Let me talk with the BU about having it moved to the bottom of the page or possibly to another place to reduce confusion.  I think that is a great idea!!

Will the Hands On Labs functionality be available in the future?  Currently teachers are creating the class in Schoology using the Training option but then have to login to the web portal to configure the Hands On Lab computers.

Hey Kathy!!  Thanks for reaching out!  Great question. 

The workflow you mentioned above is required to address your Use Case as of now.  I will reach out to the BU and see what potential options we will have in the future with Hand-On Labs.  My understanding is that function is supposed to move into Meetings so I believe that would be the first step.
