The following steps describe how to update your class rosters from semester to semester in the eInstruction Classroom Performance System.

1. Make a copy of the CPS Database and give it a unique name, then save it. This way you'll preserve the student performance data from last semester for later reference.

2. In the original database (from which the copy was made) go to the "Prepare", "Classes & Students" tab.

3. Click on the class name that was recycled already in CPSOnline, so that it's highlighted in dark blue.

4. Click on "Delete" in the "Home" box, which is directly above the roster list and then click "OK" in the grey screen which appears. The class and it's old roster from the Fall semester is no longer in that CPS database.

5. Now, click "Import" in the "Home" box, and select "CPSOnline" in the "Import Source" area, and click "Next".

6. CPS will now connect to the Internet and request your CPSOnline Username and password. If you do not have this information, it can be retreived by contacting Tech Support at 1-888-333-7532.

7. Once you're into your CPSOnline account, select "Class Admin" and select the desired class (i.e., the one that was recycled and in which your Spring 2008 students have been registering. Then click "Next" or "OK" here, and the class should download with the the new roster into your CPS database.

To make sure that the class synchs up the roster whenever CPS is started (the computer must be connected to the Internet at the time), in "Prepare, "Classes and Students", double click on the class, click on the "Online Class Options", and click on the "Synch class" button.

If you ecounter any difficulties with this process, please contact the eInstruction tech support at 1-888-333-7532.
