Tips

• Course builders can modify most elements of your course, but cannot interact with students or see grades
• Graders can assign grades, but cannot generally modify elements of your course
• A user with both Course builder and Grader roles has most of the abilities of a teacher
• Auditors will typically have the role of Student
• If you make yourself a student in your course you will be able to submit assignments and test gradebook calculations on yourself
