How to restrict activity access to one of the teachers only?

My case:

In a course with four teachers, each teacher wants to have a forum of their own for private communications with selected students. The teachers do not want their colleagues to read what is going on in their private forum.

My solution is:

  • I create four forums, one for each teacher.
  • For each forum:
    • Via Administration / Permissions I prevent the teacher role to do whatever with the forum. As a consequence none of them can do anything with the forum anymore.
    • Via Administration / Locally assigned roles I assign the nonediting teacher role to the single teacher who should have access.

It works (as long as teachers do not cheat the system by making themselves non-editing teacher of the course).

My question is:

  • Is there a more elegant way to handle this case?

Pieter, did you ever find a solution to this? I'm looking for something similar.
