Regarding the Mentor Tab

MENTOR

Actually some faculty of the colleges want to monitor the status of their students who have enrolled for the course, so that we have added the mail id's of the faculty in the mentor tab. The students of the colleges will select their mentors from the list.  

For this the faculty should be enrolled to the particular course and then request his students to add him as the mentor. He can't access the students' progress or be a mentor if he havn't enrolled for the online course .

When the students select their mentor, the faculty of that college will able to see only the progress of the student who have selected him as a mentor. The faculty can see the tab mentee list, there he can view the status of the students.

students does not belong to the college need not to bother about this. They can't able to see anything on the page of mentors.

The analytics of the student's progress will be received by the mentors only after they add him/her as the mentor for their course.  We have included the screenshots below for both the students and mentors.


For the students:

The students can check for the mentor option towards the right top position on their course page and add their mentors.
