What it does
Many online courses are built by more than one person, but a standard course usually has a single author who controls everything. That makes it hard to split the work on a course among several teachers. This add-on solves that by letting you attach co-instructors to a course. Each co-instructor gets access to edit their own lessons and work with students, while the original course author's materials stay protected from unwanted changes.
The plugin runs on top of LearnPress, so you need that plugin active on your site. Once it is in place, you add instructors to a course as co-authors with a few clicks and no coding. Co-instructors can follow student progress, grant or revoke course access, and share the grading of quizzes and assignments. It suits schools, training platforms and course marketplaces where several educators contribute to the same classes.
Best for
- Online schools running courses taught by several teachers
- Training platforms that divide course work among staff
- Course marketplaces hosting multi-instructor classes
Features
Multiple instructors per course
Assign several instructors to the same course so they can teach it and manage it together, sharing their different areas of expertise with students.
Lesson-level editing permissions
Co-instructors can edit only their own lessons, which protects content from other instructors and prevents accidental changes to the course author's materials.
Student progress tracking
Co-instructors can follow how students are moving through the course, so each teacher can see where learners stand in their lessons.
Course access control
Co-instructors can grant or revoke student access to a course and take care of other administrative tasks without needing the main author.
Shared grading and assessment
Split the work of grading quizzes and assignments among co-instructors, so evaluation does not fall on a single person.
Simple co-author setup
Add instructors to a course as co-authors in a few clicks, with step-by-step guidance and no technical knowledge required.
