How To Use The Alliance Française Student Portal

The Student Portal is a central place where students can easily manage different aspects of their learning including interacting with teachers and classmates, submitting assignments, updating profile, etc.

Students can access the portal by using their login details via the navigation link on their Alliance Française de Glasgow website or through the URL: https://www.afglasgow.org.uk/af/students

Accessing the Course Feed

The course feed is a constantly updating list of posts which can be in a form of status updates, photos, videos, assignments, or documents. Students can interact with each other by liking and leaving comments on other's posts. 

To access the Course Feed:

• Log in to the Student Portal
• In the left-hand menu, click "Courses".
• Select a certain course to access the feed.

Writing a Post

Both teachers and students have access to writing a post. When writing a post, you can format the content such as making it bold, italic, adding links, and several other options available in the rich text editor.

You may also upload photos, videos, or files. Pasting a link will show up a preview of the site.

Managing Assignments

When an assignment with a deadline has been created, it will be automatically posted and pinned (bookmark icon) on the top of the course feed.

Students can submit their work through the post associated with the assignment. They can also view their submission and check the grade after the teacher has reviewed the assignment.

Submitting an Assignment

To submit an assignment:

• In the course feed, click the "Submit my work" button in the assignment post.
• Write descriptions in the Content field.
• Click the "Upload a file" to upload the assignment.
• Click the "Submit" button.

Viewing My Submission

After submitting an assignment, to view your submission:

• In the course feed, click the "My Submission" button in the assignment post,
• You can also check and download your assignments through "My Assignments" in the left-hand menu.

Timetable

The Student Portal timetable provides students with a nice calendar view of their class schedules. Students can alter the calendar view based on Day, Week, and List.

Note: The timetable view will only show courses that the student is currently enrolled in.

Switching Between Linked Accounts

Student Portal allows a user to switch or log in as another user when the two users are linked (usually  students and their parents).

To switch to another linked account:

• Hover on the name at the top-right of the page.
• A list of accounts available for switching will show up in the drop-down menu.
• Select the linked account to switch.

Changing Themes and Notification Settings

There are four themes available for students to choose by navigating to Settings > Themes.

Under Settings > Email Notifications, students can also choose whether they want to receive an email notification or not for different events that happen in their courses. By default, these options are turned on.
