Body
VCC Interpreters and Disability Services staff are VCC employees often requiring 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/DS Advisor" has been created to accommodate this special situation.
Any request for Interpreter or DS Advisor access must be submitted to eLSupport by the Department Leader.
To request access for an Interpreter or DS Advisor:
- Ensure the employee has logged into Moodle at least once, to trigger the creation of a Moodle account.
- Include the employee's full name and VCC email address in the request. An employee number is not required as Moodle does not use employee numbers..
Once their new role is approved and assigned, the employee will be able to access and view any course in Moodle.
DS Advisors only will also have the ability to set Quiz Overrides on behalf of the instructors.
IMPORTANT! Once access is granted, the employee 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.
