5.1: Conductor Home
You have to have an instructor's account to access the Conductor. If you have logged in to from the commons ( discussed in the previous chapter ) or go directly there , you will see the Rocket page from which you can go to any of the libraries or the applications for which you have permissions. The tool symbol at the upper right of each card shows that you require separate logins for those applications (ADAPT, JupyterHub and NOVA). If you do not have permissions for any of the others this will be shown by a NoGo symbol in the same location on the card.
In most cases you want to go to the Conductor first. Users will see a fairly simple page. Administrators will see a more complicated display which will be discussed later.
Going left to right at the top of the page, Home is where you are, Projects takes you to projects you are working on, and Analytics takes you to the Analytics area for courses you have registered. LibreTexts Analytics allows instructors to explore measurements of their students' interactions with LibreTexts open access content in order to gauge understanding of course content and identify potential areas of improvement. You will have to register your course and students to enable this feature. Analytics features are still in beta testing so patience may be required. There will be further discussion of Analytics in Chapter 10 .
The search bar lets you search for all of the projects in the Conductor, the support center can be accessed from here as well as from the blue encircled question mark symbol at the bottom of the page, and there is a direct link to the Commons. Your avatar at the end on the far right is for Logging out and changing your account settings and security information.
The list on the far left is a set of self explanatory links:
My Alerts notify you when new LibreTexts Open Education resources and projects are available that match criteria you've specified. You can add a new Alert anytime by clicking Create Alert and then selecting Create Alert on the page which appears
My Support Tickets show you the status of any support tickets you have submitted to the Support Center
Harvest Requests are requests for integration of external OER that you would like to see integrated into LibreTexts, either for direct use or use in custom LibreTexts. The queue can be very long and we appreciate patience and any help you can provide. Priority is given to LibreTexts Network institutions. We also try to prioritize integrating OER texts that people are ready to adopt in their classes.
Adoption Reports are your telling us that you are using a LibreTexts resource in your classes.
Instructor Verification Requests reports the status of your verification request made when you applied for an account. There are also links to videos that will help you get started.
LibreTexts.org takes you to the home page of LibreTexts website
At this point, you can move to the project area you should select Project on the top bar, select a project you are working on or select the new project tab in the middle of your Conductor home page.
