Assigning Trainer Permission to LLND Course
Note: Adding a trainer to a group in SMS does not automatically enrol them in the LLND course — it only enrols them in the LMS course. Enrolment in LLND is done manually in the LMS. This means that as long as a user is not enrolled in the LLND course, regardless of their role (Trainer or Non-Editing Trainer), they will not be able to access the LLND course at all.
To know more on how to assign a trainer to a course please refer to this tutorial: How to Enrol a User to an LMS Course
When should you consider assigning trainer permission to an LLND Course
One reason to consider setting this up is when your organisation is working with third-party training partners who deliver training on behalf of your RTO, If you would like to prevent training partner providers (Non-Editing Trainers) from viewing or marking LLND assessments, so that these are accessible only to internal trainers. We could specifically consider setting up marking permissions for LLND assessment.
Scenario: Is there is a way to configure LMS permissions to prevent Non-Editing Trainers from accessing LLND assessments?
Here's How to restrict Non-Editing Trainers from grading LLND assessments:
Step 1: Go to the LLND course in the LMS.
Step 2: Open the quiz (both LLN and digital).
Step 3: Click More > Permissions.
Step 4: Find the “Grade quizzes manually” permission and remove the Non-Editing Trainer role.
