| |
| − | | |
| − | There are situations when others may be added to a Sakai site:
| |
| − | * To facilitate sharing of content, an instructor may be added to another instructor’s course site upon request. This requires approval from the program director/chair or from the instructor whose course is being shared and may be requested by emailing [mailto:sakaihelp@durhamtech.edu sakaihelp@durhamtech.edu].
| |
| − | | |
| − | * At times, individuals from entities outside of Durham Tech may need access to Sakai sites. This could include auditors, accreditation reviewers, or interns/volunteers working with a class in a College-sanctioned role. Contact Human Resources to request a "non-employee" account, which provides access to College systems. Once the "non-employee" account has been created, the program director/chair can email [mailto:sakaihelp@durhamtech.edu sakaihelp@durhamtech.edu] to request access to specific Sakai sites.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * If a need arises to provide access to a Sakai site that does not contain student data, contact [mailto:sakaihelp@durhamtech.edu sakaihelp@durhamtech.edu] to discuss options for creating a local guest account.
