Adding staff
All existing La Trobe staff will have an LMS username and password. These details are the same as those used for University email, ESS etc. For new staff members - your LMS username and password will be active within 24 hours of you receiving your email details. This username and password can be used to access both the LMS and the LMS Administration system.
When non-La Trobe staff (individuals from partner institutions etc ) require access to the LMS, this request must be made by a current La Trobe Staff member. The request should be emailed to the ICT Service Desk . Once created, this username and password can be used to access both the LMS and the LMS Administration system. Non-La Trobe staff will not be able to create LMS subjects, however they may be granted access to a LMS subject in order to manage it.
- Subject Designer – A Subject Designer can add, hide, show or remove LMS tools. They can also use the File Manager to upload and organise files of any type and use the Selective Release function to control the release of any content or items. For example, you can release an assignment to a specific group of students or at a predetermined date.
- Subject Instructor – A Subject Instructor can prepare Assessment and Assignments, use the Grade Book to view and enter student grades, place students into groups using the Group Manager, create activity reports using the Tracking function and control the release of content and items using the Selective Release feature.
- Teaching Assistant – The Subject Designer unit can specify which tools and functions are available to a Teaching Assistant.
