Setting access levels to courses

The access levels you set for course participants depend on two factors:

1.The role instructors will be playing in the course

2.Whether the course will be an open or closed environment for students This section describes:

￿Assigning instructor and administrator roles

￿Creating an open or closed course environment

Guidelines for setting instructor access levels

Any participant designated as an “instructor” can perform a variety of tasks including creating and deleting documents in the course databases, accessing the Assessment Manager, and doing instructor-oriented tasks for a course.

In some cases, instructors may have a larger role. They might, for example, control class enrollment or change some attributes of course design. If instructors are going to be performing administrative tasks such as enrolling students, they must be given Manager access to the course databases. If instructors will be facilitating a course, but not performing any administrative or course design functions, they should be given Editor access to the course databases.
