MAUI in ICON is an application that gives instructors a simplified view of MAUI directly inside their ICON site to help manage their course. Features useful to instructors at the start of the semester have been included here such as those that help to combine course sections and those that help familiarize the instructor(s) with students in the classroom. Some features of the application included here are student name pronunciation, preferred pronouns, emailing the class-list, photo, and student's primary program of study.

Only approved courses that are created in MAUI can use this tool. Instructors should reach out to their Academic Departmental Administrator to make changes to instructor roles in MAUI.

When students are working from remote locations, it is helpful for the Instructor to know their time zones, as this can be helpful in scheduling more convenient meeting times or activity deadlines. When an ICON user sets their time zone preference for their ICON profile, then the MAUI in ICON tool has the “Time Zone” column that shows the instructor what time zone the student has set.

Students can set their time zones in ICON.

Instructors who wish to email their class from their ICON course can use the email feature from the options menu within the MAUI in ICON application:
