What can I do as a Local Administrator?
The three most significant distinctions of a Local Administrator vs. faculty-staff role are:
Access to all of the course sites within a department/faculty without being included in the Classlist(instead of just sites you are the instructor of record for, or another user has added you to).
Ability to batch enrol users into a course site from a file (instead of individually)
Access to the Org Unit Editor tool that displays all course sites within a department in one list, not just those you have been added to the Classlist in.
Local Administrator Orientation
Once approved as a Local Administrator, CPI will offer a brief orientation session to get you acquainted with the role. Reach out to cpi@brocku.ca with any further questions.
