Adjusting Student Moderation Settings
Student moderation settings are global on a student-teacher basis, which means they can override the community moderation on/off switch. Student moderation settings are located in Teacher Tools under “Manage Students.” There are three student moderation settings:
- Community Setting: respects the community setting. If a community has moderation turned on, auto means that student will be moderated. If community moderation is turned off, that student won’t be moderated.
- Trust: means that student is trusted in all communities, regardless of the moderation settings for those communities.
- Always Moderate: means that even if moderation is turned off in a community, this student’s posts/comments will always be held for teacher approval.
Note: If a student has more than one teacher, each teacher can set the individual student's moderation setting as they wish. This setting will control the student's moderation accordingly in the communities that the teacher created. (i.e. a student can be "trusted" by one teacher and "always moderated" by another).
