These instructions relate to adding a user (student, staff, or external examiner) to your module. Guest (temporary accounts) may also be created.
The following roles are available:
Students
- Learner Manually Added: There are 2 variations here, one is the student who does not yet have a UL email address, and the other is where a student has a UL email address. Both are dealt with separately below.
Instructors
- Instructor Manually Added: There are 2 variations here, one is the UL Instructor who does not have a UL email address, and the other is where an Instructor has a UL email address. Instructions for each are shown below.
- Read Only: This role may be used for an external examiner who wishes to view students work.
