User Roles Explained

  • Student - Students are only able to access the courses they are added to when those courses are active. Students cannot access courses that are not active (do not have plan).
  • Instructor - Instructors are able to access the courses they are added to whether they are active or not. They can also access the course folders in  Virtual Classroom files for the courses they are instructors of. Instructors can create and organize the on-demand course corresponding to each course as well as moderate the virtual classroom.
  • Admin - Admins can perform the same functions as the account owner. They can create courses, configure course (change name, license, etc), manage users and access  Virtual Classroom files.
