Sharing Student Accounts

A student account may be associated with multiple instructor accounts reflecting shared responsibility for the student by members of the team.  Every instructor assigned to a student may assign activities, add IEP goals/objectives, and view usage and performance data for that student. 
 
To add instructors to a student profile:
  1. Select Students tab.
  2. Select Student Management.
  3. Select the Student ID to open the Student Profile.
  4. Select Edit Profile.
  5. Scroll to Assign Instructor(s) and select the arrow to access the Instructor Roster.  Select an instructor name and Select Add. Repeat to add additional instructors as needed. Select Save and Close when complete.  The student will appear on the student roster of all assigned instructors.
