Manager Roles and Perscribed Learning work-around?

Manager Roles and Perscribed Learning work-around?

by Greg Frichette -
Number of replies: 2

I develop eLearning at a corporate office that supports our franchise network of 700 users. There are 70 franchisees with about 10 employees per location and I would like to have the following capability for the "franchisee admin."

I didn't see anything where I can associate a manager to students... is there such a thing out there?

The following is my best case scenario for a user hierarchy:

For example:

  • I build all of the eLearning that is distributed to our 70 locations.
  • I build 70 location admins that are responsible for managing users at each location. Each admin can only see users built at thier location.
  • Each franchise admin can assign training / view reports on all employees at the location
  • The corporate administrator can run reports for all users at each location

Please let me know if this is possible.

Hi Greg,

The closest thing I've used to this would be setting up a mentor (parent) role (find out more at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Parent_role). I did this so that I could assign a manager to a number of employees who could monitor their team's progress (or lack thereof). This doesn't address the issue of being able to assign training at franchise level, but with a bit of tweaking in the roles (as you'll see when you go to set up a mentor/mentee relationship) you should be able to work something out.

Hope this helps,

Mark.

Hi Greg.

In part the answer depends on the version of Moodle you are using. In earlier versions of Moodle, you could add a manager as a non-editing teacher, and assign them to a group. I believe in older versions of Moodle if a non-editing teacher is assinged to a group in separate groups mode, they can't see the other groups.

Alternatively, you could make each location a course and assign the local admin as a teacher on that course.

There are a few possibilities, each with their advantages and disadvantages.
