If you are creating several student accounts, when you have finished typing in all the information for the first account,
click on the Save and Add Another button at the bottom. This way, you will not have to retype all the information
again for the second user.
You will only have to modify the first name, last name, username, password, and e-mail for each account. This will
speed up account creation.
i. Note: When you save and add another account, the password field will appear to carry over the password,
displaying ****** in the password field. But it does not carry over the password. You must retype the
password for each subsequent account or the password will not work for the account.
When you click Save at the bottom of the page, if Oracle iLearning tells you that the student account name is already
in use, please add your initials to the school abbreviation for all of your student accounts. For example, school
abbreviation "sshs" becomes "sshsmj" (for teacher initials Mary Jones). For student accounts, au_sshs_sql01_s01
becomes au_sshsmj_sql01_s01.
Type in one of the following curriculum codes for the Teacher profile, based on the course(s) you are offering to teachers:

In Oracle iLearning there are two types of reports instructors can access to see student quiz and exam scores.

c.
Return to the Admin page by clicking on the Admin button located at the bottom or top of any non-admin page.
The four tabs: Content, Users, eCommerce, and Reports will be at the top of the page.

Scroll down and Click on the Run icon (glasses) to execute and view the report of your choice. Pay close attention to the
year of the report (2012-2013 as opposed to 2013-2014).
e.
Each report requires specific parameters to be entered before execution. In most reports, you will be prompted for your
school organization name. All Oracle iLearning parameters are case sensitive. The school organization name MUST be
entered exactly the same as it appears in Oracle iLearning. If you are off by one character, the report will not display any
data. Do not include underscores when typing the school organization name.
You can see your school organization name in your student account listing or at the left side of the screen after pressing
the Admin button and selecting the Users tab.
You can save any report data by selecting the save icon instead of the run icon. Select the template Comma Separated
List - For Save and open the saved filed using Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice. When a report is saved from Oracle
iLearning it is saved with a txt filename extension.

multiple exams. (There are over 100,000 accounts in Oracle iLearning).

You will only see these reports if you classified yourself as the manager of your student accounts. These reports are only

Click on the Manager tab when you log into Oracle iLearning. You will NOT see this tab if you do not declare yourself the
Manager of your student accounts. If you just created your first user, you may not see the Manager tab until you log out
of Oracle iLearning and log in again.

After clicking on the Manager tab, click on the Reports sub-menu option to view the reports.

Students follow the same instructions as above, only they choose the option I am a Student for step 3.
2. I cannot view the Flash content.
You need to install the latest version Flash Player on your computer. Flash players can be downloaded free from the following site:
http://www.adobe.com
3. The quizzes do not appear when my students try to take them.
Make sure your browser is Java enabled. See the Browser Test and the Java Virtual Machine section described at the beginning of this
document. Also be sure that pop-up blocking software is disabled. The quizzes and exams require pop-ups to display properly.
4. My students do not see the curriculum when they log into Oracle iLearning.
Instructors need to input the correct curriculum code in the Year field of each student account.
For Database Design and Programming with SQL students, the code is: SQS12 (SQS one one). The SQS must be uppercase.
For Database Programming with PL/SQL, the code is: PLS12 (PLS one one). PLS must be uppercase.
Instructors can only assign one code per student and it must be placed in the Year Configurable Attribute field of the student account.
5. The curriculum was there but now it has disappeared.
When a teacher or student completes an Oracle iLearning course offering, Oracle iLearning moves the course offering under the SelfPaced. You may still access the course offering available from the Self-Paced tab. Oracle iLearning considers a course offering
complete when you have clicked through all of the content one time. Click on the Self-Paced tab to access the course offering from
the listing of offerings.
8. How do I log into the practice database environment, Oracle Application Express?
Your user accounts and directions for accessing Oracle Application Express are sent via e-mail at the start of the school year.
