Remember that you can assign roles at the site level, area leve(KLA)l and course/class. If people are listed as course creators at the top (site) level, they automatically appear in every course under this. Only Admins are "invisible" . I have found it to be most affective having only the most competent and trusted staff in the top area admins. We have 5 (probably too many, but it does work at the moment.) We have no middle mangers, and the teachers are in control of their own courses. I, or one of the other admins, creates each course, and that suits us fine at the minute. <div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Adam Barbary</div><div>Viewbank College</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div>On 08/12/2008, at 8:27 PM, Ros Meadows wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000066"><font face="Calibri">Thanks Phil and Stephen,<br><br>It is ok - I have solved the problem, if you go to the Create courses and then choose a category on the RHS there is an assign roles, where I can allow teachers to create courses within that category only.
