Instructors

Instructors are the LMS users who are qualified to teach specific learning modules.  Instructors can be created manually and assigned to learning modules.  They can also created automatically (auto-populated) based on current instructor assignments for all classroom training sessions.

Selecting an LMS user to be an instructor does not automatically enable that user to access instructor functions. A role must be assigned that grants the user access.  The LMS comes with an Instructor role out of the box that includes:

• Ability to review session participants
• Ability to maintain attendance sheets
• Ability to share files in the Knowledge Center
• Ability to enroll learners in sessions.

For additional information about creating roles and granting role access, please see Roles Management.
