VCC Interpreters require special access* to courses that allows them to view course content but (due to privacy concerns) not access private student information or appear visible to students. A Moodle role called "Interpreter" has been created to accommodate this special situation.
Any request for Interpreter access must be submitted to eLSupport by the Interpreting Services Department Supervisor (with a cc: to the Associate Director -- Student Access).
To request access for an Interpreter:
- Include the Moodle Course ID in the request. For information on how to locate the Moodle Course ID, read KB1115.
- Ensure the Interpreter has logged into Moodle at least once, to trigger the creation of a Moodle account.
- Include the Interpreter's full name in the request.
- Include the Interpreter's EMPLOYEE email account address in the request. Do not confuse this with his or her student account, if one exists.
- Submit your request to the Interpreting Services Department Supervisor who will submit it to eLSupport, with CCs to the two Associate VPs.
Once access is granted, the Interpreter will NOT see the courses appear on his/her own "My Courses" list. Instead, he/she should access the course by searching for it in the course search field. It can then be bookmarked for easy access in the future.
*Note to eLSupport: Interpreters should be assigned as "Other users" and not enrolled in the standard way.
