Teacher role for an administrator

Teacher role for an administrator

Hi

I'm trying to test the teacher role for a client who will be both an admin and a grader of the courses.

I have tried adding her as a teacher of the category (because its less work than adding her to every course)

Is that the best way to do it?


Also is there somewhere that a teacher can see all the pending submissions without having to go into each course and check (assuming they don't get their email notifications)


Thanks 

Andy

Hi Andy,

It's a best practice for admins who have multiple roles in an organisation, to also have separate accounts for the teaching and administration roles. This is to make sure the user only has the tools enabled that are associated with the role the user has logged in with.

Teacher is normally not a category level role, and it might work. If you don't fancy going into each course and manually enrolling the user as a teacher, you could consider the Upload Users CSV option with the appropriate enrolment field for the courses the user has to be a teacher in.

Info on the Upload Users CSV options can be found in the Moodle Docshttps://docs.moodle.org/36/en/Upload_users
