Observer

This puts a student TA into a "course-building" role. They are able to upload files, create links to files and make other Activities and Resources. They can also create attendance sessions and take attendance, this is the one module they have full access to. They have limited to no access to other student data or ability to add some of the more complex features in Moodle.

This role is intended for students who are either enrolled in the class or not. In either case, to make this work faculty will have to request a student staff account through their Academic Computing liaison.

Faculty Assistant (Grader)

A hired TA or another faculty that the primary faculty of the course would like to allow limited review and/grading of coursework. This role will not be assigned to students enrolled in this class for credit. Once someone with this role is added, they will have access to all files that have been uploaded to the course, including the work submitted by their peers.
