For admins and editors
All the Cohorts you're personally teaching will be listed on your Home page under the Teach tab. If you create a new course or Cohort from your Teach tab, you'll be automatically enrolled as the teacher.
If you've created a new Cohort another way, or you need to teach a course created by another staff member, you may need to take an extra step to enroll yourself as a teacher.
Enroll yourself as the teacher
Enroll yourself as the teacher of an existing Cohort so that...
The course or cohort will show up under your Teach tab when you first log in.
Learners will see you listed at the top of the Cohort Path and can contact you by email.
You will receive notifications about discussions and work that needs review in that Cohort.
Here's how to set yourself as Teacher (if you're already an admin or editor). If you don't have admin or editor access to the account, you'll need to ask someone with those permissions to add or invite you.
Method 1: Add to Path
Open Community from your Dashboard or main menu.
Look up your own user and click on your name.
Click the "(+) Add to Path" button to select a role, select a course and cohort, and enroll yourself instantly.
Method 2: Share
Open the Cohort to the Path tab and select the “Share” button near the top of the page.
Under the "Add" tab, look up your own user and instantly add yourself to the Path. Be sure to select the Teacher role.
OR copy the "shareable link" and select the Teacher role. Paste the link into a new browser tab while logged in and you will be automatically enrolled.
Remove yourself from the teacher role
As an admin, you can also remove yourself from teaching a course. Remove yourself so that...
The Cohort will not show up on your Teach tab when you first log in.
Learners will not see you listed at the top of the course Path and contact you by email.
You will not receive notifications about discussions and work that needs grading in that Cohort.
To remove yourself (or anyone else) from teaching a course, hover over the profile picture for the individual at the top of the course Path with your cursor, or tap on the picture. It will open up and you'll see three dots (...) in the upper right corner that open a drop down menu. Select "Remove from cohort" from the menu.
Invite someone else to teach
Want to have someone else teach instead? Follow the instructions for inviting or adding someone to your course and be sure to select the teacher role.
