Student Permissions in Teams
Hi all, are you typically adding your students as Members or Guests in your Teams, and if the former, are you turning off any specific permissions? Also, what is the best way to set up a facility...
- NoelF we have all of our students as members, populated by SDS. Permissions wise it depends on the teacher / class setting. Some prefer to disable chat in the channels for everyone except the teacher, some prefer to have discussion channels etc.
Regarding your 2nd question, it sounds like you would be best using Class Notebook. You can use it to push page(s) out to all students and then quickly mark / assess them using the built in marking navigation tool. Students cannot see eachother's sections, you can see all of them, and you can make collaboration & read-only areas for your shared content. If Class Notebook isnt an option, you will have to play around with the document library permissions.
NoelF "what is the best way to set up a facility in Teams whereby each student (and the teacher(s)) has edit access to a particular document, but the student cannot see other students' documents?"
Assignments to the rescue!
Assignments are a powerful tool which can be used in a variety of ways. With Assignments you can do exactly what you have stated. Assignments have different features:
- You can add a document that you want your learners to change
- And/Or they can add one or more documents of their own
- After attaching documents the teacher and student both have access to the document
- When they submit - you see that they are done. The teacher can edit but the student cannot - unless they
- "Undo submit" which is possible before the deadline if the teacher hasn't returned it yet
- "Resubmit" which is possible before the deadline after the teacher has returned it
If you want to simply use it as a "space" where students save documents to which you and they (individually) have access - there is nothing to prevent you from creating an "open assignment" with no deadline and no restrictions. I think there is a limit of 10 documents per assignment per student.
