Hi folks, We're having a few problems organising a new course that we are running. The situation is this - we have a course which has four groups of students. We have assigned each group a mentor (some of which have system administrator privelges on our system). The problem is that we want students to be able to email their mentors from within their group - so we decided to make the mentors members of the relevant group. The difficulty that we are having is that system administrators do not appear when you list the users for the course - meaning we can't add them to groups within the course. We tried making them teaching assistants for the course but this made no difference. Should system administrators have seperate log ons for the purpose of participating in courses? I can understand the sense of this as it would mean that you have to use a specific log on to make system wide changes, a bit like logging on as the root user or as Administrator to your machine (you shouldn't *really* do it more than you have to!) If anyone has any experience or advice in this area it would be greatly appreciated. Another thing that has come from this is that it seems a shame that you can't give particular users special roles within groups like group leader or mentor.
