Teachers may need to transfer ownership of their class due to various circumstances such as taking family leave, changing schools, etc. This feature gives teachers confidence that their class has been successfully transferred to another teacher!
The instructions below show two views: 1) the original class owner who is trying to transfer ownership, and 2) the co-teacher receiving the request to become the new class owner.
Original Teacher Transferring Ownership
In the "Classes" view, the teacher wanting to transfer chooses “Transfer ownership” from the dropdown menu.
The teacher will choose who they want to whom they want to transfer the class.
If the request is accepted, the original teacher becomes a co-teacher of the class.
If the co-teacher does not accept then the original teacher remains the owner.
The original teacher can also cancel a pending invitation to transfer ownership.
Co-Teacher Receiving Ownership Request
The co-teacher sees a green banner appears at the top of the class page when the transfer request has been sent. Here, they can accept or decline.
If the co-teacher accepts, they become the owner. of the class.
