In Portflow, you can choose from three roles: student, teacher or coach. You are automatically assigned the role of student in the system. You can choose to give feedback or post a comment from a different role. Your role will be visible with your feedback or comment.
- Click on your profile icon in the top right corner of the taskbar.
- Click on My Settings.
- Next, click on Role.
- Select the role you want to assume.
- Click on Close to save the change.
Your role has now been changed and is visible in comments and feedback.
When you log in to Portflow for the first time, everyone is assigned the role of learner, regardless of your role in Brightspace. It is advisable to change your role to teacher immediately.
The system remembers the role you last selected. If you want to assume a different role over all, you can change it again in the personal settings.
Changing your role when giving feedback
If you give feedback on a piece of evidence, you can change your role for that moment.
Click at Evidence feedback on the menu Role and select the role in which you want to give feedback.
This temporarily role switch has no effect on your personal settings.
