Activity Feed (Overview)

For teachers, the Activity Feed is one of the central hubs of MySciLife. Any item that requires moderation shows up in the Activity Feed. From here, you will control what student content appears on the site.

To access your Activity Feed, hover/click the Teacher Tools menu and click “Activity Feed.” Or you can select the Activity Feed tab if you are already inside Teacher Tools. 
Tip: A small red counter will appear next to the Teacher Tools menu icon anytime you have new or unread items in your feed. If you cannot find unread items and the counter is still showing, change the sorting filters to the following: Activity filter to “Unread Only” and Time filter to “Forever”. Then click the "GO" button to filter your feed.
Items that appear in the activity feed include:
  1. Posts – Shows you all posts in your communities
  2. Identity – Shows you all student identity creation or change requests
  3. Post Comments – Shows you all student comments on posts
  4. Announcement Comments – Shows you all student comments on announcement
  5. Member Requests – Shows you new requests to join your communities. These will disappear once you approve or disapprove them.
