4. A list will be created, and you should hopefully see the student(s) you searched for
5. Click the little box next to the student ID then click the first 追加

Adding Learning Materials

1. From your クラス情報設定 (the page with all the buttons), click on コース設定, the button bellow the user button (ユーザー追加)
2. Click コースを選択 to look at all the available courses

There will be a warning that will pop-up. Don't worry, it just says "Oh by the way you only have the option of choosing two kinds of learning materials".

3. You will see all of the available learning materials
4. Find the course you desire and click the 選択 button
5. Click the　共有 button and accept the warning that pops up

Adding Due Dates

The Brix system allows the teacher to set due dates for each unit of the course material.

1. From クラス情報設定, click the third button コース実施画面
2. From the drop-down menu, find the course (learning materials) you would like to set-up
3. click the ユニット表示 button on the far right
4. Each unit is displayed in order
5. If the list is too long, you can shorten it by using the second drop down menu
6. Once you have a list you can work with, click the calendar icon for the respective unit and choose the start and end date for each unit
7. Once you are finished, click the 登録 button near the bottom of the page

Note: If you don't set a due date, or a start date, the student will be able to start the section / unit anytime they want.

Adding Goals

The Brix system requires goals for each course/learning material you selected. The Goals page is split into two goals, one for 'completion' or 'progress' and other for 'grades'.

Progress Goal

1. Again from your クラス情報設定 page, click on 公式目標設定
2. At the top of the page, click the calendar button and choose the end date for your course
3. Bellow that, put the desired percentage of completion you would like your students to achieve (eg. 100 for 100% of the course completed)
4. Click the すべて選択 button to select all the units/parts of the learning material, then move on to the next part

Grade Goal

1. Just like you did for the progress goal, choose the end date you want your students to achieve their grade / score / result goal
2. In the box bellow the date, type in the passing grade for the course
3. The drop down box to the left of the 'point' box is where you can choose between 平均 (cumulative average) or 最低 (minimum score). I (Justin) assume that 'cumulative average' will average a range of grades, some low some high, whereas the minimum score measurement won’t mark a unit as passed unless they meet the minimum requirement for each part.
4. Just like setting the Progress Goal, click すべて選択 to select all the units
5. Finally click the 登録 button and all the red pop-up buttons

And your done!
