The Kira Learning platform allows you to switch between teacher and student views. Each view offers unique features tailored to its respective role. Knowing how to switch between these views and understanding what each view offers can enhance your experience and productivity on the platform.
For example, teachers can switch to the student view to access endorsement program courses or other student-assigned materials.
Where to Find the Student and Teacher View
To toggle between student and teacher roles within your account:
Click on Your Name: Locate your name at the bottom left corner of your screen and click on it
Switch Views: If you have access to both types of accounts, you will see the option to switch between student and teacher views. Click on the desired view to switch. The options will appear in a dropdown menu for easy selection. This functionality is particularly useful for teachers who are also enrolled in courses as students, allowing them to seamlessly access their student dashboard.
Important Tips
Check Your View: It's important to check which view you're in when you sign into your account. Permissions and available features differ significantly between the two views
Teacher View: Provides tools and features for teacher resources, managing classes, assignments, and student progress
Student View: Allows you to engage with course content, submit assignments, and track your learning progress. When switching between views, the courses dynamically update to reflect the tools and resources specific to the selected view. - Troubleshooting Role Visibility: If the "Student" or "Teacher" role is not visible, ensure that your account permissions are correctly configured.
Collaborative Access: Teachers can invite others to collaborate on courses by navigating to course settings, selecting "Invite User," and assigning the "Teacher" role.
By familiarizing yourself with both views, you can maximize the potential of the Kira Learning platform and ensure you are utilizing all available features effectively
Additionally, leveraging collaborative features like inviting other teachers can further enhance the teaching and learning experience on the platform.
