Last Update 2 months ago
Instructor (non-editing) status can be given to a supply teacher or a TESL student teacher, if desired.
Teachers with an Instructor (non-editing) role can view the course resources, activities, student work and their grades, as well as use very limited course editing abilities, including turning editing on and off, showing/hiding activities and resources, showing/hiding topics to control section visibility, highlighting and unhighlighting a topic to set the current section, switching roles to see the course as a student, and (at your discretion), moderating a BBB session. For information on how to allow the Instructor to moderate a BBB session, please see the article Adding an Instructor (non-editing) as a Moderator to BigBlueButton.
The Instructor (non-editing) will want to see the article Facilitating at Avenue as a Non-editing Instructor.
Non-editing Teacher role is another option which may be useful. For information on it, please see the article Enrolling a Non-editing Teacher into a Course.
