Adding staff
When you set up a unit in the LMS, you become the Primary Designer. As Primary Designer, you can begin to design your unit by uploading files and adding tools. In addition, you can grant access to your unit to colleagues to assist with design, help with teaching or both. To be added to your unit your colleague will need a username and password for the LMS. If he/she doesn’t have one, he/she’ll need to apply for a username and password for the LMS.
Once your colleague has a username and password for the LMS, you’ll need to decide in what capacity you want to add him/her to your unit in the LMS.
- Unit Designer – A Unit 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.
- Unit Instructor – A Unit 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 primary designer of the unit can specify which tools and functions are available to a Teaching Assistant.
