Even though the course has been successfully opened and the system has automatically added students according to the list shown on the registration office's website, the course instructor can still add additional participants to other courses as needed. For example, adding co-teachers, TAs, or adding students whose names are missing from the registration website by sending course invitation to those who wish to join the course.
Invitations will not be sent until the course start at a configured date, and the course must be set to public as shown in the image below in order to send invitations or add participants to the course.
The steps to add participants to a Course can be done as follows.
First step, go to the "People" menu, the window as shown in the image will appear.
1. Search by email address using the CMU Account (@cmu.ac.th) or Lifelong Education Account (@lifelong.cmu.ac.th) of the student.
2. Search by Login ID using the first and last name of the student.
3. Search by SIS ID using the student's ID number.
If you need to add more than 1 participant to the course, please use the " , " (Comma) symbol to separate user accounts or start a new line to separate each user account.
To add participants to a course, you can assign different roles as follows:
Teacher or Instructor: Teacher or Instructor can manage the course in all functions, including setting up basic course settings, adding content to the curriculum, hiding and displaying information in the course, accessing the course, creating announcements, assigning tasks, setting calendar activities, configuring student participation, analyzing data, managing groups, managing course participants, creating quizzes, and grading.
Student: Student can access content in various sections based on the permissions set by the instructor. Students can attend classes and complete activities assigned to them based on the conditions and time set by the instructor.
TA (Teaching Assistance): TA supports he creation of courses and various settings within the course. They have the same course management permissions as the instructor.
Observer: Observer is linked to a student's account using observers' general email. They can observe the student's progress in that course. Observers can be family members, guardians, or student advisors.
Designer: Designer can access and manage some parts of the course content (access is relatively limited compared to TA), such as creating discussions, announcements, assignments, quizzes, adding content in other formats, and adding participants to the course.
The roles commonly used are only 3 roles, namely Teacher, Student, and TA.
Select the sections that need to add participants to the course. You can add students to the desired section and click the "Next" button. (In case there are no sections divided or only one section available, the system will display the course name in the section section).
Courses created through the Course Portal system will have 2 types of sections available for selection automatically, which are 2/66-SEC00x (according to the number of sections in the course). Students with the Role: Student will be added to these sections, and the section named after the course will have instructors with the Role: Teachers added to it.
When adding a name manually, it is recommended to select the correct section or add the name to the instructor management for the system to automatically assign the name to the correct section and role.
