Add an Additional Manager to an Assignment

Additional managers (i.e., Staff or Admin users) of an assignment can do the following:

  • Add or remove students or managers from the assignment
  • View a student's progress
  • Add a comment for a student
  • Lock and unlock the assignment
  • Grade the assignment
  • Edit the assignment settings

You can add a Staff or Admin user to an assignment in two ways:

  1. When you create the assignment
  2. After you create the assignment (i.e., at a later time when it becomes necessary to add someone to help you manage the assignment).

Create a New Assignment that includes Staff or Admin Users

  1. From the FlexCurriculum drop-down menu, select FlexLessons.
  2. Choose a Built-in FlexLesson or create a new FlexLesson.(See Publish a FlexLesson or Create a New FlexLesson for additional help).
  3. Select the Assign button.
  4. Complete the Assignment Settings.(See Assign a FlexLesson for additional help).
  5. Add users to the Assignment either as individuals or part of a Group.(See Create a Group for additional help).NOTE:  if there are Staff or Admin users in the Group you select, they will be displayed in the list of assignees on the right under the Staff/Admin tab. They are NOT assigned the Lesson to complete but can serve as an additional manager of the assignment.
  6. Select the Staff/Admin tab.
  7. Add the desired person by clicking the checkbox. This user will be visibly added under the Staff/Admin tab on the right, where all assignees are listed.
  8. Select Create Assignment.Any Staff or Admin users added to the Assignment, either as an individual or part of a group, can now manage this assignment.
  9.  Once you make the assignment, you will be redirected to the Assignment page, where you can see the number of assignment managers listed in the table.

  1. From the FlexCurriculumdrop-down menu, select Assignments.
  2. To the right of the desired assignment, under the Actions column, select Manage.
  3. Select the Actions drop-down menu on the right.
  4. Choose Add User.
  5. Select the Staff/Admin tab.
  6. Add the desired person by clicking the checkbox. This user will be visibly added under the Staff/Admin tab on the right, where all assignees are listed.
  7. Select Save Users. This new user can now manage this assignment.
