Invite or import the lecturers at your school, set their titles, and pass a departing lecturer’s courses to someone else.
Lecturers teach in Lena for Teachers: they create courses, and your school sees them here.
Superadmins and Academic admins manage them from Lecturers in the sidebar. A K-12 school calls them Teachers,
and other schools Instructors.
Choose Invite lecturer at the top of the sidebar, or Invite on the Lecturers page.

Enter who they are
Enter their First name, Last name and Email. Add a Title if you like, such as Dr. or Mr.: it’s how
they’re addressed at your school.
Inviting Tunde Bakare, with his title.

Send it
Choose Invite. We email them to join your school. Someone new to Lena gets their sign-in details in that
email; then they sign in to Lena for Teachers.
To change a lecturer’s title later, open them from the list, choose Edit, set the Title, and choose Save
changes.Lecturers can also join your school themselves from Lena for Teachers, without an invitation. They enter their own
title and staff ID, and appear in your list straight away. If someone joins who doesn’t teach at your school,
remove them.
Open More actions beside Invite and choose Import. It works like
importing students: download the template, fill it in, upload it, fix any rows Lena flags,
then import and download the sign-in details PDF.The template is the same for every kind of school:
Column
Required?
Staff ID (Instructor ID at other schools)

Older Lena teacher templates still import. Their Faculty and Department columns are ignored. Importing someone who is
already a lecturer at your school changes nothing. In Lena for Schools, you can only set a staff ID by importing.
The Lecturers list, with each lecturer’s title and staff ID.
Choose Remove from the row’s menu, or open the lecturer and choose Remove. They’re removed from your school.
This can’t be undone.Before you confirm, Lena tells you what happens to their courses. Drafts that only they work on are deleted. Their
other courses stay, with no lecturer, until you give each to someone.If they still own a course that’s running, Lena stops you: “This teacher owns N courses still running. Give each to
another teacher first.” Choose See courses, give each course to someone (below), then remove them. If you select
several lecturers and one owns a running course, remove that lecturer on their own.
