Roles

There are two types of users (roles) in the platform: an Educator role and a Student role. As the role names suggest, there are different levels of access to the content and well defined abilities. See user management for details.

Educators

Educators have access to the Repository — a virtual file system for managing files and images — and can create and manage classes. Educators can also modify class content, enroll Students, and view reports (class and Student statistics).

Educators access the platform via a dedicated dashboard that Students cannot access. Similarly, Students have a dedicated dashboard that Educators can’t access. However, Educators can preview pages (i.e. class content) to verify the layout and consistency of class content as it would be seen by Students.

Students

Students can only access the classes they have been enrolled in which are currently available as well as the team’s Landing Page. Students' access to classes is limited to the class availability dates and the content that has been linked into the class.

Student responses and activities are automatically saved by the system. In the event Students lose their internet connection, autosave cannot function. They will receive a notification with the option to re-save by clicking “Try Again” once an internet connection is available. Students will not be able to navigate through the class without a connection to the internet.
