What you are using for is not possible - because the standard Teacher Role is exactly that - a Role that gives those users the permissions to edit the content of a course.

Possible solutions might be:

  • Easiest - tell the Teachers to only edit there own content area!
    • This seems like an obvious statement, but we often spend many hours trying to do something with technology, when in fact an easy answer is to explain and adapt the way people work wink
  • Effective - Break the course into 3 courses, and allow each Teacher to manage the content in their Course
    • You could user meta-course enrolment for these courses, so that when Students are enrolled in any of these 3 courses they are enrolled in the other 2 also automatically (to reduce your administration)
    • The Teacher who is editing the course would have a Teacher Role, and the other two Teachers, who I presume from your question are only supporting/grading (not editing content) you would give the Non-editing Teacher Role
  • Awkward - Using some fancy Role Assignments, you could Assign Teachers to specific Activities - but this is going to be awkward to do, and awkward to maintain, as you would be having to edit permissions individually for each Teacher every time there was a change sad
    • You would also need to check that the Teacher Role can be assigned at an Activity module level to do this (it is by default, but I think some sites might disable this).

Teacher context

This would enable you to Assign individuals as Teacher to a specific Activity - so they can edit it.

But it's still going to leave your Resources as editable by anyone who is a Teacher at Course level.
