With the Instructor Bios, you can set up profiles for each of your instructors who you will feature on class listings as being the primary teacher for one of your classes. Their bio includes their name, their photo and their short bio. We generally recommend a short paragraph explaining their experience and expertise.
It is not required, but it is possible to invite your instructors into the ClassDuo app to view their classes and view information about the attendees. This allows them to get up-to-date information about their classes as they need it rather than having to ask the organization for it.
Adding Instructors As Users
Before having any instructors create a ClassDuo account, it may be helpful to decide and set up the following first:
- User Tags for Instructor: Go to Organization > User Tags > Add Tag > Create one called "Instructor" or whatever terminology your organization uses. This helps categorize and organize users in a way to always differentiate Instructors from other users in ClassDuo.
Signing In for the First Time
Navigate to: Users > All Users > Add User button
You can fill in their name, email, and phone number here to create their account as a user. You can also give them their Instructor tag. We would recommend keeping the "Send Invite Email" option on here so that they get an email and can log into the system.
Lastly, you will want to check the "Give User Permissions" option. This will open a number of options for user permissions that you can assign them. At the very least, you probably want to scroll down to the Classes area and give them on of the Instructor related permissions there:
- Can View All Class Details (With Contact Info)
Can view basic details about all classes and attendees (including contact information), regardless of who is the instructor. - Can View All Class Details (No Contact Info)
Can view basic details about all classes, regardless of who is the instructor (without any attendee contact information). - Can View Own Class Details (With Contact Info)
Can only view basic details about classes and attendees (including contact information) where they are the instructor, must connect instructor bio with instructor user account. - Can View Own Class Details (No Contact Info)
Can only view basic details about classes and attendees where they are the instructor (without any attendee contact information), must connect instructor bio with instructor user account.
Connected User for Instructor Bio and Classes
Now they can then be added as Instructors to specific classes. Doing this will allow them to view the dates and times of their assigned classes while logged into ClassDuo and give them access to the Attendee List for each class.
Assigning Classes
Navigate to: Templates > Edit > Add Instructor(s).
Once their Instructor Bios are built and Connected User account selected in step above, you can go into individual classes or class templates and Add Instructor. This will automatically integrate and display the information you built in adding them as New Instructor.
