There are a number of times when it would be useful to add another person to your course in the Designer role. Perhaps you have an admin assistant who is managing online course evals, or you have a lab coordinator who manages your lab materials. In any case, they cannot help you until you give them permission to access your course. The following are illustrated instructions to enable you to do just that.
Adding a Designer to your course
1. From the myCourses tab in myPlymouth, click on the course to which you wish to add a designer.
2. If it is not already selected, click the Teach tab at the top of the course window.
3. In the lower left-hand corner of your window you should see a column entitled “Instructor Tools.” Click on the Grade Book option.
If you do not see the names of the icons, click on the bar separating the icons in the menu column from the rest of your course shell. This will expand the menu bar and display the names of each of the tools.
4. Once in the Grade Book, click on the button entitled “Enroll Members”
5. Type in the username (without the @plymouth.edu) of the person you wish to enroll as a designer (Below image, label 1)
6. Check the box next to the Designer role (Below image, label 2)
7. Click the Enroll button (Below image, label 3)
8. If this was successful, you should now see a confirmation message.
Click OK and the name of the Designer should now appear in your Grade Book.
This same process works for adding Teaching Assistants and Auditors. Simply check the appropriate role during step 6.
