Roles that can access Course Insights
The table below details the data fields, analysis granularity and functionality available to the Course Coordinator, Lecturer and Teaching Team Member roles.
For a faculty or school-based Learning Designers to get access to Course Insights as a Teaching Team Member they must request access via learninganalytics@uq.edu.au. The learning analytics team will then email a formal request to the ADA/HOS and provide details on what access and data/visualisations will be included in the approval. The learning designer will only get access to Course Insights once a formal approval has been received from the ADA/HOS. At the end of the semester, Learning Designer access for all courses in a school/faculty will be reviewed.
