In Quest you have the ability to authorize other instructors to access your course. From the left menu bar on your course page, select 'Authorize Instructor'. This is also where you may add importers, learning assistants, and TAs.
Depending on what permissions you want to grant the instructor there are several different options:
Permission | View Published Assignments | Create Assignments | Publish Assignments | Change/ View Assignment Dates | Copy Assignments into a course | Change and View Grades | Access to material after semester closes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Primary Instructor Additional Primary Instructor Secondary Instructor | x | x | x | x | x | x | x |
Importer | x | x | x | ||||
Teaching Assistant | x | x | x | x | x | x | |
Learning Assistant | x | x | x | x |
One more option not on this page is adding someone (usually an undergraduate TA) as a guest student to your class. Guests:
As the primary instructor, you are enrolled in your own class as a guest so you can see what students see!
If you would like to add a student as a guest, ask the student to enroll in your course (via unique), and then approve them as a guest on approve enrollments. Their guest status will will be noted on your roster page. A student auditing your course or an undergrad Learning Assistant (who you want to see the material without seeing solutions before they are posted) would be examples of when you might mark someone as a guest.
Because guests are treated as students, they will be prompted to pay for access unless you tell us otherwise. Please, please tell us if any of your guests should not be charged for Quest! Emails before billing ends (usually ~2 weeks into the semester) are greatly appreciated to eliminate their bills fuss free: quest.billing@cns.utexas.eduÂ
