What a Teacher Designation Entails

A Teacher Course Record designates a contact as a teacher for a course.

This teacher designation will show in the classroom to the students when they are utilizing Dropbox, Messaging, Teacher’s Directory, and a few other locations within the classroom where the teacher is referenced.

The Teacher Course Record also tells the system who to send notifications to, when the notification settings are enabled for various functions within the course and module level settings.

These settings may be set to include sending a system notification email to the teacher in any of the following situations:

• Notification when a module is completed
• Notification when an assignment is completed
• Notification when an assessment is completed
• Notification when a document has been uploaded into DropBox.
• Notification when a course is completed
• Etc.

You can assign any number of contacts to be designated as Teachers for a course. In the case where there is more than one teacher assigned to a course, the system will reference and send to notifications to all teachers assigned to the course.

How to Assign a Teacher to a Course

1. Visit the Teachers section of the Course Editor
2. Click New Teacher Course Record
3. In the Teacher Course Record Editor, in the Teacher field, click the Find button
4. Find and click Select next to the contact record that you want to assign as the teacher for the course.
5. Repeat as needed for multiple teachers

Note: If a teacher will be needing to correspond  via messaging, review documents submitted by students, or mark modules as complete etc, they should be assigned as a Teacher in the Course AND have the Teacher Role in their contact record to support that.
