For Oncourse, what is a department administrator, and how can my department designate one?

Access to administrative tools

UITS grants access to administrative tools within Oncourse to users who provide support to the Indiana University campus community. An academic department can designate its own administrator to provide support for its students and instructors using Oncourse. These department administrators have full administrative rights for editing and migrating all courses and rosters listed within a specific department. In addition, those sites leveraging the Basic LTI tool will grant designated Oncourse administrators the instructor role to external tools.

For more about Basic LTI, see Basic LTI.

Once the appointment is approved, a support administrator will contact the designated department administrator to explain the use of the administrative tools, and the associated responsibilities and maintenance.
