Change a User's Role
User roles can be adjusted in the List/Modify user section of the control panel.Available user roles include:
· Student: User is able to access all available Course content and will be graded on Assessments.
· Instructor: User is able to control all aspects of the course through the Control Panel.
· Teacher’s Assistant: User is able to control most aspects of the course through the Control Panel.
· Grader: User is able to access all areas under Assessments.
· Course Builder: User is able to add content to the course through the Control Panel.
· Guest: Guests are able to view areas of the course, but cannot participate in any way.
If a student is officially registered in your course through the Registrar's office, any change of the user role from "student" in Blackboard will be changed back to "student" role by the automated roster process. In this case, the only way to change a student's role in the course, so it will not be overwritten by the automatic roster process is to Sumbit an OIT Help Ticket.
If you are employing undergraduates as Teaching Assistants in your Blackboard course site, be sure to follow Best Practices, Policies & Guidelines for Use of Undergraduate Teaching Assistants (UTAs) available at http://t-reqs.trinity.duke.edu/uta.html
