Add co-instructors/designers (with editing rights)

Instructors can do anything within a course, including changing the activities and grading students.

• Go to the course homepage
• Click Assign roles link in the Administration block
• Click the Instructor link
• Click in the Search field under the column on the right
• Type a name or an email. Click Search button:
  • If the user is found, the name will appear in the right column.
  • Once you've found a person, you can also check Hidden Assignment checkbox in the middle, if you wish to hide this user from your students.
  • IMPORTANT: If you cannot find people, it means that they need to activate their Moodle accounts first. You should send an email to those users, asking them to do so.
• Highlight the name of the user in the right column by clicking on it.
• Click the Add arrow in the middle pointing to the left. The user will be moved to the left column, and added to the site.

Add non-editing instructors (e.g. TAs)

Non-editing instructors can teach in courses and grade students, but they do not have designer capabilities, thus they may not alter activities or add resources (e.g. teaching assistants).

• Go to the course homepage
• Click Assign roles link in the Administration block
• Click the Non-editing Instructor link
• Click in the Search field under the column on the right
• Type a name or an email. Click Search button:
  • If the user is found, the name will appear in the right column.
  • Once you've found a person, you can also check Hidden Assignment checkbox in the middle, if you wish to hide this user from your students.
  • IMPORTANT: If you cannot find people, it means that they need to activate their Moodle accounts first. You should send an email to those users, asking them to do so.
• Highlight the name of the user in the right column by clicking on it.
• Click the Add arrow in the middle pointing to the left. The user will be moved to the left column, and added to the site.

Useful tips:

• Role changes only take effect after the next login from the user.
  If you assign a role to a user, or override any of the roles capabilities, the user must log out from the Moodle system completely and then log back in, in order to see changes.
