Grant Another Instructor Access to Your Course

You can grant partial, full-course, or section access to another instructor. You might want to do this to share assignments between similar courses, or to allow a TA to grade essay answers or manage student requests.

Note

If you manage your K-12 course through NGLSync, see Add Teachers (NGLSync).

The following table summarizes the privileges you can grant to instructors in your section or sections.
