Introduction

 Infinite Campus Instruction is a new IC module designed specifically for the classroom teacher.  This new module replaces functions that were previously under the Instruction tab in the original IC environment, and adds new optional functions that you may find helpful.   The resources here should allow you to quickly learn basic attendance, assignment creation, and grade book scoring.  However,  if you are interested in learning the new optional functions, that info is here as well.  Also, the video below will give you a quick introduction to the new module.

Switching between the Tools and Instruction Modules

The original Infinite Campus environment, and the classroom instruction functions are now separate modules.  The original module is called Tools.  The classroom instruction module is called Instruction.  All users who open Infinite Campus will start in the Tools module.  This still contains most of the functions needed for Principals, clerks, etc.  To access classroom teacher functions now, you must go to the new Instruction module.  People who are standard classroom instructors, but also have other duties, such as special education instruction, discipline, or counseling, will have to switch between Instruction and Tools.  

•  When you log into Infinite Campus, the icon for switching between modules is in the top right corner, beside the Log Off option on the menu bar.  The icon is a white grid, as pictured below.  Click this to switch modules.

• You will be presented with the option to switch into other modules. Choose Campus Instruction to access the new module.

• If you are someone who requires functions that are not included in Instruction, you may need to switch between the Tools and Instruction modules frequently.  While you are in Instruction, click the module select icon as before, and you will be presented with an option to go to Campus Tools.  This is the classic Infinite Campus environment. 

• The Campus Community option that shows on both menus is IC's online community.  This site includes documentation for Infinite Campus, including the Campus Instruction documentation that is linked below.  The instructions for joining are below, and you can not access the documentation until you sign up.
