Choosing a role for your program collaborators
Selecting program collaborators is important for your program's success. Understand each role and its goals. Choose from 3 collaborator types based on their roles and permissions or create a custom role. You can assign each collaborator to a specific program, or to a few, with up to 10 collaborators for each program. When selecting, consider how people's skills match their duties.
- Program Author: Responsible for managing and interacting with course participants. Permissions include updating program content and managing participants.
- Program Manager: Oversees online courses and manages course offerings. Has full control over online programs but not site settings.
- Program Instructor: Use this role for all other use cases. This virtual profile displays the collaborators' involvement without giving program management permissions.
- Custom role: Create your own collaborator roles or edit existing roles to cover exactly what you need.
Managing program collaborators
Adding collaborators to your program gives participants reassurance of the program's content. You can create a personalized profile for each collaborator, including text, images, videos, and links. This gives participants a preview of who will guide them.
To manage program collaborators:
- Go to Online Programs in your site's dashboard.
- Hover over the relevant program and click Edit Settings.
- Click Instructors.
- Add a collaborator using the relevant option:
- (First time only) Click Assign Instructor.
- (If you already have instructors assigned to your program) Click Manage.
- Choose what you want to do next:
