Summary

This is a brief tutorial explaining how to add people to the Teaching Assistant Role in Moodle.  The Student and Instructor roles are only added to Moodle by Banner.  However, you can add Student View, Teaching Assistant and other support roles to your Moodle course as needed.  Instructors can assign the following roles in a course:

  • Non-editing teacher - Can view assignments and grade.  Cannot modify the course or complete a course import. Can export the course.
  • Teaching Assistant - same permissions as an instructor but cannot add users.
  • Student View - same as a student, but cannot see grades. This role is not used for enrolling students in your course but instead used mainly in Community Courses.
  • Tutor - provides tutors with the ability to see content (not grades or submitted assignments) to assist learners in the completion of work.
  • Library Associate - provides some basic editing for Library Reference Librarians to assist in research assignments in the course.
  • Student - Incomplete - only gives the ability to access a hidden course. This role needs to be paired with the Student or Student View role.
