Access Instructor Features

As an instructor, you can oversee courses and sessions you teach by managing participants, course details, properties, and resources. Accessing the Knowledge Center lets you communicate with learners and other instructors, share files, access resources, and moderate course forums.

Instructor-oriented tasks are primarily managed from the Teach menu.

About the Teach Menu Options

• The Active Courses option displays an instructor's active classes. Depending on permissions, you can enroll learners, review participants, and update attendance, transcripts, and grades.
• The Archive option shows completed classes. Various actions can be taken here, depending on your role's access and permissions.
• The Session Administration option displays all learning module sessions with unrestricted or read-only access, regardless of the user's instructor assignment. Instructors with appropriate permissions can take similar actions here as in the Active Courses tab. Bulk updates to sessions are also possible. Users can select various actions from the action menu for each session, subject to their role permissions.

You can access each of these options from the Teach menu. When you access one of the options, the others are available as tabs so you can toggle through them without having to access the main Teach menu.

Manage the Columns Displayed in the Teach Tabs

You can customize the columns in the class lists on the Teach tabs to suit your requirements. Various column options are available, although not all may appear by default. You can add or remove columns as needed to ensure access to the necessary information for your tasks.

You have the option to create column presets, which save specific column configurations for easy access. For instance, you could set up a preset displaying essential class information like Title, Start Date, End Date, and Seats Registered. This preset enables quick access to these columns.

1. On the appropriate Teach tab, click the Columns drop-down field in the table header.  Select a saved column preset or follow steps 3 - 5 to manually specify the columns.
2. Click Customize.
3. To remove a column, click on the column name in the Visible Columns section and it will be moved to the Invisible Columns section.  Reverse the process to move a column from invisible to visible.
4. If you would like to save the column configuration as a preset, click Save As Preset.  Otherwise, click Apply.

To delete a preset, select Manage from Columns drop-down field and select Delete from the actions menu.  You can also delete presets as a bulk action.

Filter the Class List in the Teach Tabs

On each Teach tab, there are several search and filter options that allow you to locate and manage the appropriate classes.

• To search for courses by title, ID or description, enter a value in the Module Title/ID/Description field and click Enter.
• To filter the list on one or more criteria, click Show Advanced Filters. Enter values in one or more of the fields and click Filter.
• To display the list with no filtering, click Reset and then Filter.
