Set up course groups in your LMS

Using an LMS? Set up course groups and enroll a section instructor or TA in your learning management system if you work in Blackboard, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Moodle, Sakai, or Schoology.

The owner of the course group edits the coordinator course to manage assignments and choose access levels for section instructors:

  1. Open the course and edit the course settings (in some cases, choose Manage Course > Edit Settings in the menu).
  2. Select Edit for General Settings on the Course Settings Summary page to open the Edit Course wizard.
    • On step 1, select Coordinator from the Type of course to create list.
    • On step 2, choose the time zone and optionally apply it to all member sections.
    • On step 4, choose the default level of access granted to section instructors in the member sections. You can edit these settings for individual instructors in each section.
  3. Add assignments and any other features to be inherited by the member sections.
  1. Open the member section and go to the gradebook.
  2. Select More Tools > Manage Instructor Access to edit the access levels for the section instructor or TA.
  3. From the Access list, select:
    • Full instructor - has complete access to course functionality.
    • Section instructor - has access levels as assigned by the settings in the coordinator course.
    • Read only - has view-only access to the gradebook, assignments, and student results. This setting is typically used for TAs.
    • Custom - Opens the Define Custom Access window where you can choose specific access levels for the TA.
