Every course has an Owner: the teacher who created it. The owner can bring in other teachers and assistants to help. Each person’s role decides what they can do. Roles are set per course, so you can own one course and assist on another.

​
The People tab

Open a course and choose People. It appears once the course is published.
  • Teachers lists the lecturers and assistants on the course, with their roles. The owner can remove one from the row’s ⋮ menu.
  • Students lists everyone enrolled, with their matric number or student ID. Activity says Active if they’ve recently opened a material or handed something in. Last active says when they last did. The owner and teachers can choose a student’s name to see their grades and activity.
  • Each row’s ⋮ menu has Send email and Copy email. On a student’s row, Remove student takes them off the course. This can’t be undone.
You can’t add students yourself. They join on their own, with the course’s entry code. See publish a course.

​
Roles

A student assistant is a student who helps run the course. They see only Courses in the sidebar, and only the Details, Outline, Study Materials and People tabs.

​
Invite a co-teacher or assistant

Only the owner can invite, and only once the course is published.
1

Open Pending invites

Open the course, choose Settings, and go to Pending invites.
2

Invite them

Choose Invite. Enter their Email address and choose a Role: Teacher, Assistant or Student Assistant. Choose Send invite.
They get an email. Until they accept, the invite stays under Pending invites, where its ⋮ menu has Resend invite, Edit role and Cancel invite.

​
Accept an invitation

When you’re invited, Courses in the sidebar shows a red number.
  1. Go to Courses and choose the Invites tab.
  2. Open the invitation.
  3. Choose Accept, or Decline.
Invitations also show on your list of schools, under “Courses you’ve been invited to”. There, choose Accept, then Accept invitation. If you decline, the owner has to invite you again.

​
Give a course to another teacher

The owner can hand a course over to another teacher, for example when they leave the school or swap courses.
1

Open the course’s menu

Open the course, choose ⋮ (More actions), then Transfer ownership.
2

Pick the teacher

Search for a teacher at your school by name or email, and choose them.
3

Give it

Choose Give course. They become the owner, and you stay on the course as a teacher.
To give several courses to the same teacher, tick them on the Courses page under Published, then choose Transfer ownership.

​
Troubleshooting

It shows only to the course’s owner, and only on a published course. Publish the course first.
You can only give a course to a teacher who has joined your school in Lena. Ask them to join the school first.
Your role doesn’t cover that part of the course. If that looks wrong, ask the course’s owner to change your role.
