Thanks Melanie,

We don't want anyone but their immediate teacher to be able to identify or contact the students, which includes admins.

I know the roles are a little weird. Our system is set up so that a school board will purchase access for all their respective schools. In order to get the stats needed, we have to be able to identify what board and what school a teacher belongs to. We need to see the activity of a particular board, school, or teacher. Licensees need to be able to see school and teacher activity, and teachers need to be able to see student access and progress data. With the students, only the teachers should have access to individual student data. The students won't be connecting with each other. Everyone else should only have aggregate student data.

I'll take a look at the modules you suggested.

Penny

I know this was over a month ago...but I was thinking...

You could also use the non-editing teacher role for people who need to see activity in a particular class for specific people by creating groups. You add all the people to the group and the person with the non-editing teacher role and they can only see the group they are assigned.

This is a course by course kind of thing...but you could create site or category level cohorts for each school or board (not sure exactly how that works for you) and then enroll the cohort in each required course. If you want to automatically populate the groups this way, it does require you to create the groups you want in each course (you can create a tiny csv and just upload them to each course in about 30 seconds, once you have the csv created), then when adding the cohort to the course, choose the group. I used to have 12 or 23 groups that I wanted for all my courses and every time I built or duplicated a course, I'd just grab my csv and dump it in, then the teachers would cohort enroll the people they wanted into the group.
