Roles: Instructor, Mentor, Student

The Acrobatiq platform assigns three roles: InstructorMentor, or Student. They are mutually exclusive; a user can have only one role within an Acrobatiq course.

 

Instructor

This role is granted by Acrobatiq or by clicking an existing single sign-on (SSO) link in your school's learning management system (LMS). Users with corresponding roles in an LMS are given the Instructor role in Acrobatiq. The Instructor role has the following privileges: 

  • Course Settings (basic settings, roster management, assessment settings)
  • Scheduling (content and assessments, individual student exceptions)
  • Learning Dashboard
  • Gradebook
  • View Student Work mode
  • All course content, including answer keys
  • My Profile page
  • Browser Check tool
  • Help

 

Mentor

This role is the teaching assistant (TA) equivalent. It too requires the manual addition of privileges by Acrobatiq or the automatic role assignment via SSO. The Mentor role is identical to the Instructor role with one exception: The Mentor role cannot access Course Settings. The Mentor role has the following privileges:

  • Scheduling (content and assessments, individual student exceptions)
  • Learning Dashboard
  • Gradebook
  • View Student Work mode
  • All course content, including answer keys
  • My Profile page
  • Browser Check tool
  • Help

 

Student

Those with the student role have access to course content and all the tools and pages that enable students to navigate an Acrobatiq course or to maintain their account: 

  • My Scores (the student's individual gradebook)
  • All course content, EXCLUDING answer keys and subject to an applied schedule
  • My Profile page
  • Browser Check tool
  • Help

Note: Some institutions arrange for the omission of some menu items, such as My Scores. Also, instructors and mentors cannot complete work on a student's behalf.
