There are several instances where a Class may require multiple instructors and assistants to provide the most optimal experience for learners. To have multiple instructors and assistants in a Class, the primary instructor who created the class can promote users one at a time to the instructor role. Instructors and teaching assistants display at the front of the room.
Please note:
- Terminology is determined in the Class Admin Settings. In this guide, we will be defining the instructor title as an instructor and the assistant title as an assistant.
- You will have to verify a user before promoting
2. The recently promoted user will shift to the front of the room next to other instructors and assistants. This switch will be visible to everyone in the class instantly. The promoted user will have teaching tools, class mgmt tools, and co-host permissions. To learn more about user roles, read here.
3. You have the option to switch the instructor back to a student. Navigate to the user’s video panel, select the ellipsis (three dots), navigate to Change Role, and select Student.
4. If you would like a specific instructor on the teacher’s podium, navigate to the user’s video panel and select Move to Podium.
