Release date: wednesday 14th june.

Teacher role

The Teacher is a type of user to whom an Administrator or Group Administrator assigns a series of Trainings, so he can check the enrolled students, their academic progress and generate reports. They can be either Courses or Pathways. The Teacher fulfills the role of the trainer who gives a class or training and follows up on his students. To do so, he has access to certain sections of the Admin Portal, the Trainings and Reports sections.

The role of Teacher is only available from LC6 and later versions. It is therefore not accessible to users of LC Legacy, version 5 or earlier.
