[Building Sakai] Editing Course Site Participants

[Paul Marais]

Hi Zhen,

 

thanks for the reply.

In our instance, the instructors might re-use the same site. In this site they want to remove existing students and add new ones at certain periods.

Thus, when removing a roster we don't want the instructor to lose access to the site.

 

Can we give the instructor a different role so that he/she is not removed?

 

Thanks

Paul

Paul:

Your Quartz job synchronizes roster information with Sakai course site. Those added site members are considered as provided by external provider (your course management system). Hence there is no option to remove them within Site Info tool. 

Since the roster information contains both instructor and student roles, remove a roster takes away both user kinds. Is there any specific reason to just keep instructors and remove all students from a course site?

Thanks,

- Zhen

Hello,

 

currently we're inserting our Sakai Course Management through a Quartz Job via Job Scheduler.

We're using the Course Management API's to insert the data.

When I sign on with a user that has the 'Instructor' role I can see that he/she is added along with all the students (users with 'Student' role), but there is no option to remove the students from the site?

Also, when editing the class roster I only have the option to remove the roster. When I do click it, it removes the instructor from the site aswell. Is there a maybe a way to exclude the lecturer from the roster, so that he/she is not removed?

 

Thank you

Paul
