On December 29th, IT Teaching and Learning Services made a change to the mapping of eCampus and Brightspace user roles that will allow URI to better protect our students and their data.
No roles were removed in this effort, simply mapping changes between eCampus and Brightspace. Users who are added to eCampus with the role of “Teaching Assistant” will continue to be added to the appropriate Brightspace courses, only they will now be added with “TA” access. Teaching assistants who require more specialized access can be promoted by the instructor to a “TA Plus”.
