Introduction
View Student Instructions
This WebTycho Faculty Guide supplements the WebTycho User Guide, and focuses on those functions available only to faculty. This guide assumes you have read the User Guide before consulting these pages.
Access Levels
Student. Students have read access to all areas of the classroom and write access in Conferences, Assignments, and Study Groups as determined by the instructor. The instructor rosters students into study groups, and students can see, enter, and participate in only the study groups into which the teacher has rostered them.
Instructor. The term Instructor is used in a very limited sense to mean the lead faculty member in charge of a class.
Faculty. The lead faculty member or teacher is responsible for the content and design of the course. The teacher composes and edits class announcements; posts a personal faculty information page (biography); adds content to the syllabus; creates and manages conferences and study groups; and has access to read, edit, and grade all student assignments. The teacher may place additional written materials for the class (in .txt or .html format or as a Web link) in the Course Content area, although undergraduate faculty are not required to do so.
Teacher's Assistants (TAs). TAs have faculty access to all areas except Manage Syllabus and Manage Course Content.
