Manage TAs

When team-teaching a course, only one person can have designer access and the other person has to be designated as the Teaching Assistant (TA). The reason why it has to be set up this way is because if both people are set up as designers, they will share the name of the "course instructor" if both are in the WebCT course at the same time. So, if they are in chat at the same time, the "course instructor" name will appear twice. If one person is a designer and one person is the Teaching Assistant, then you will appear individually to your students.

Another thing to be aware of is the fact that the Teaching Assistant is only able to add students to a course and grade items. The Teaching Assistant has very limited abilities versus the designer. Therefore, the instructor who will primarily build the course will need to be the designer. The other person will need to be the Teaching Assistant.
