Instructors | How to add an assistant and FAQs

This article will go over how to add an assistant to your course and what capabilities assistants have within Stukent in your course. 

*Please note for LMS* connected courses, Assistants will need to be given the Assistant role within your LMS platform. Once given the role and added to your course within the LMS, they will be able to Launch Stukent within the LMS and it should automatically enroll them as an Assistant in the course. If you have any questions on how to apply this role on your Assistant's account on your LMS platform, your LMS admin will be able to assist you in doing so.* Example of LMS-connected courses below.
