Accessing the IRHS Dashboard
Once your chapter’s application has been verified and accepted, the Chapter Advisor will be sent an invitation with instructions on how to enroll in the IRHS Chapter Advisor Dashboard in Moodle. Each chapter will receive only one invitation, which is sent to the Chapter Advisor. Additional officers and administrators cannot be added to the chapter’s IRHS Dashboard.
The Chapter Advisor is responsible for creating and maintaining the local chapter’s dashboard and submitting all of the required documentation each year. To do this, log into your Moodle account, click on “IRHS Chapter Advisor Dashboard Access”, and then click the International Robotics Honor Society tile at the bottom of the page.
You’ll be directed to your main Dashboard, which contains tiles with instructions and links to submit assignments. Some tiles may be gray; you won’t need to worry about these and will not need to submit them.
Here’s an example of what your IRHS Dashboard may look like:
Navigating Assignment Tiles
To navigate through individual assignments, click on a blue tile, and a description window will appear. This window will contain instructions on how to complete an assignment, additional resources, and a link to upload/attach documents. You can always click the “X” in the top right corner of a window to return to your Dashboard.
Submitting Assignments
The red icon at the bottom of each tile pop-up will redirect you to the page where you will complete the assignment. Once you click on the red icon, you will be provided with additional instructions and a blue “Add Submission” button.
Once you’ve clicked the “Add Submission” button, you’ll be prompted to drag and drop or attach files to the assignment. Please pay close attention to the accepted file types and size limits, as they can be different for each assignment.
Assignment Grading and Approval
All assignments are reviewed and graded by the IRHS National Advisor or RECF staff. Because real people are checking these assignments to ensure that they align with the Constitution of the IRHS, grading may take time. We thank you in advance for your patience and support!
The Chapter Advisor will be notified by email if additional information is needed for the assignment, or if grading is complete.
Required Assignments and Due Dates
All assignments that are featured on a blue tile require completion and submission by the end of the reporting window. Because the IRHS is an international organization that accommodates a variety of school schedules, you’ll notice that all assignments have a due date of June 30.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Chapters only considered approved and in good standing once the following steps have been completed:
- The application submitted by the Chapter Advisor has been verified approved by the IRHS National Advisor
- The Chapter Advisor has created an account on the IRHS Dashboard
- Payment has been received by the RECF Accounting Department
- The assignments titled Upload Accreditation Documentation, 26/27 Student Chapter Member Roster, and Chapter Bylaws have been submitted in the IRHS Dashboard by the Chapter Advisor and are graded/approved by the IRHS.
Downloading an IRHS Chapter Advisor Badge
Once the assignment “Upload Accreditation Documentation” has been submitted and graded, you'll earn a "Verified IRHS Chapter" badge!
You can download this by going to your Moodle profile and select Badges, and then right-click to save the image. Feel free to add this badge to your email signature or use it to promote IRHS in your community.
