To add instructors to a course, they must first be listed in the Name & Address book on the server. You do not have to add instructors to a course now. For more information about adding instructors to a course once a course has been created, see “Managing course enrollment” in Chapter 5.

Instructors can see views and access options in course databases that are hidden to students.

3.Click the Instructor Access list to change the default access level for instructors.

Select Manager if the instructor will be adding or removing students from the course enrollment, or performing other administrative tasks for the course. Select Editor if an instructor will be facilitating a course, but not performing any administrative tasks.

4.In the Student Names field, click the pop-up list button to select names from the Name & Address books. You can also select group names.

In the dialog box that appears, click the pop-up list button at the top to switch between Name & Address books. For help using the Name & Address book selection box, click the Help button in the dialog box.

To add students to a course, they must first be listed in the Name & Address book on the server. You do not have to add students to a course now. For more information on adding participants to a course once a course has been created, see “Managing course enrollment” in Chapter 5.

Tip You can add group names to the Student Names field. Create the group in the Name & Address book, giving it a name such as “LS_coursename,” where coursename is the name of the course, then populate the group with student names. If you use this method, keep in mind that Central cannot automatically create profiles for the students in the group.

Note If you are enrolling a student who is an instructor or administrator for another course, LearningSpace lowers that participant’s access to Central to the student access level.

5.If you want to automatically create profiles for students and instructors, make sure the “Create personal profiles?” option is selected.

If you select this option, Central creates profiles for students and instructors in the Profiles database for the course. It then populates the profiles with any relevant information available about the participant from the Name & Address book, such as phone number and address.

6.Click OK.
