There are different types of accounts on our platform. We would like to explain them here. Keep in mind that these accounts are cumulative; every account type has the same rights as the accounts that precede them in this list.
Here is a quick overview:
Student account
A Student account is only able to:
Learn: Students can practice, finish assignments and take tests.
Ask questions: In classes with a forum, Students can ask questions about the material. In classes with an open forum, they can also answer questions from other Students.
Review score and progress: Students can see their own score and progress, but not the score and progress of their fellow Students.
Student view
Teacher account
In addition to what is stated above, a teacher account is able to:
Manage classes: This means creating new classes, managing users in a class, managing the content in a class, creating assignments and tests based on existing material, sending messages to their class, and changing the settings of a class.
Forum moderation: Teachers can moderate a forum, this means answering questions but also marking answers as correct. They can also see the names of users who have marked their forum activity as anonymous. Furthermore, they can use the forum to report problems with the content.
Review score and progress: Teachers can see the score and progress of all users in a class. This includes practice, assignments, and tests.
Grade tests: Teachers can grade tests and make test results available to student users.
It is possible to give a Student Teacher rights in only one class. The Student then becomes a Teaching assistant in this class.
