A learner can be assigned a coach to provide support and feedback throughout a course. Coaches can view and mark tasks for this learner(s) and, depending on the chosen marking template, offer feedback. They can also review and provide feedback or marks on peer evaluations.

Coaches have access to the course content and will receive notifications when their assigned learners submit tasks. 

Manage users and main facilitators can add coaches and set up coaching relationships by allocating learners to coaches.

How to add a coach as a manage user

  1. Open the class activation by either creating a new activation, or editing an existing activation.

  2. Select the Access tab.

  3. Select the Coaches option then Add coaches.

  4. Enter their email address and Check to see if they already have an account in your iQualify environment. For a new account, you'll need to enter their first and last name.

  5. Select Add to course.

Select the plus icon under the Coaches column to assign learners to a coach.

Select Done to finish, this will update and return you to Access. Where the plus symbol was previously should now be updated to reflect the number of learners that are assigned to that particular Coach.

How to add a coach as a Main facilitator

Main facilitators can select either Add or Edit on the Coaches tile of the Class console.

Enter the name and email address of the person you wish to add. If you have just added the coach, you will automatically be taken to allocate learners to that coach.

Otherwise, select Edit on the coaching tile and select the icon on the right to Add coaching relationships.

Select the learners you wish to allocate to that coach then Done to finish.

Notifications for coaches

The coach will be notified that they've been added to the course and will automatically have access to all tasks for the learner(s) they've been assigned to.

Coaches will be notified whenever a learner they’ve had assigned to them submits a task. They can then login and view/download assessments to mark and/or provide feedback.
