How do I add/remove an instructor or TA to my course?

Students enrolled in your course will be automatically added to your eClass course. We'll even take care of removing them too if they drop the course. There are some situations where you may need to give someone access to your course, you'll find the most common ones below.

 

Add Teaching Assistant (TA) to your course

If you want to give your TA access to grade student activity in your course without allowing them to change content or add activities, read on. Otherwise, if you'd like them to have full editing capabilities in your course, refer to our section on how to add an Instructor.

  1. Click on Participants  in the top row, a list of current users, if any, should display.

  2.  Click on the Enrol users button to add a user to your course.



  3. Enter the user’s email address or name in the Search field, a list of users matching your search criteria will be displayed in a drop down. Select the user you wish to add and choose Non-editing Instructor from the Assign role dropdown menu. 


    Delete

    If you would like to add a TA as instructor, just simply select Instructor from the drop-down menu instead of Non-editing Instructor.

  4. Select the Enrol users button to add them to your course.

  5. Rinse and repeat to add additional users.

 

Add another Instructor to your course

Giving a user full Instructor rights means they have the same permissions as you to edit content, create activities, grade students etc


  1. Click on Participants  in the top row, a list of current users, if any, should display.
  2. Click on the Enrol users button to add a user to your course.



  3. Enter the user’s email address or name in the Search field, a list of users matching your search criteria will be displayed in a drop down. Select the user you wish to add and choose Non-editing Instructor from the Assign role dropdown menu.

  4. Select the Enrol users button to add them to your course.

  5. Rinse and repeat to add additional users. 

 

What are the other roles for?

  • Deferred Student: A deferred student can access a hidden course. This is useful when a student requires access to a course to prepare for deferred exam.
  • Course Import: This role allows user to copy your course content and also provides high lever overview of your course.
  • Auditor: This role can view content and activities made available by the Instructor but can't participate in these activities. 
  • Librarian: This role can be used to add a Librarian to your course. They can access your course to review course content but will be restricted from seeing student grades.
  • Accessibility Support: This role is typically given to note takers that need access to your course for the purpose of taking notes on behalf of a student.  
  • Altexam: This role gives read only access to course content as well allows user to set a user or group override] in a quiz, assignment or lesson activity. This role does not allow them to see grades or participants enrolled in the course.

 

Change a users role

Oops, you've given someone the wrong role and now need to change it.

  1. From the Participants page find the user in the list. (TIP: If the enrolled users list is long, use the filter options  to customize.)

  2. Select the Pencil (edit) icon next to the user's name in the Roles column to change the role.



Remove a user from the course

  1. From the Participants page find the user in the list. (TIP: If the enrolled users list is long, use the filter options  to customize.)

  2. Select the Unenrol (trash) icon in the Status column and click on unenrol to unenrol the participant.



Please note you are only able to remove participants who are added to a course manually - following the instructions on this page. Student enrolment is automatic and you will not be able to remove them from your course using this feature. Once a student unenrols, their status changes to Suspended. They will not have access to the course and they will be removed from the course automatically.
