How do I add a participant to my course

To add a participant to your site, such as a TA, Super TA, or supplemental instructor, follow the steps below. Please note that only users with an Instructor role will be able to add participants.

 

1. Go to the course you want to add participants to.
2. Click on Classlist in the navigation bar. If Classlist is not in your navigation bar, you can find it in Course Tools -> Course Admin.
3. Click on the blue “Add Participants” button and select “Add existing users”. Note: The “Add existing users” option allows you to search UVic Brightspace users to find the person you need to add. If you cannot find the person, please contact LTSIsupport@uvic.ca for assistance.
4. Search for an individual by typing their name or V number in the search bar and clicking the search icon (magnifying glass).
5. Select the user you would like to enroll by checking off the box next to their name.
6. Once you have found the user and assigned their role, select Enroll Selected Users located on the bottom left of the page to enroll them into your course. You will then be taken to a Confirmation of Enrolment page where you can either select Done to finish or Add More Participants to search for other users.

If you need to adjust the role you have given a participant, follow the steps above and choose a different role from the drop-down menu, then click the “Enrol Selected Users” button.

 

Please note that only users with an Instructor role will be able to remove participants.

 

1. Go to the course you would like to un-enrol participant(s) from.
   
2. In the navigation bar, click on Classlist.  If Classlist is not in your navigation bar, you can find it in the Course Tools drop-down menu-> Course Admin.
3. Search for the participant(s) you would like to remove and click on the box next to their name.
4. Once all the participant(s) have been chosen, click on “Unenroll“ near the top of the list.
5. It will ask for confirmation. Click yes and the participant(s) will be removed.

If you are encountering difficulties adding a person and you are the Instructor on Record, contact LTSIsupport@uvic.ca.
 

Sessional Instructors

For a sessional to be able to log into Brightspace, they have to meet the following conditions: 

1. The Department must have completed the appointment of the sessional. 
2. The sessional must have been assigned as instructor to at least one course. 
3. The sessional must have applied for their NetLink-ID. 

Once they’ve met the 3 conditions above by 5 pm of any given day, they will be automatically picked up and uploaded to Brightspace at 4 am the next day. If they miss the 5 pm cutoff, they will be picked up the following day.

 

Currently there’s no other way to add a Participant to a Brightspace course if they are not already NetLinked and uploaded to Brightspace as a user in the overnight process. Basically, if you can’t find them in Brightspace, you can’t add them.

 

Teaching Assistants

For a TA to be able to log into Brightspace, the same applies. They must meet the following conditions: 

1. Either the Department must have completed their appointment as a TA or they are registered as a student. 
2. They must have applied for their NetLink-ID. 

Once they’ve met the 2 conditions above by 5 pm of any given day, they will be automatically picked up and uploaded to Brightspace at 4 am the next day. If they miss the 5 pm cutoff, they will be picked up the following day.
