18 Understanding Course Elements Guest Users You can set up a guest user password that allows a person who is not a law student or professor to participate in your TWEN course or forum. For example, you might provide guest user access to a judge or attorney. Note Guest user passwords do not allow access to content from Westlaw, WestlawNext, AttorneyJobsOnline, Law School Exchange, or the Legal Career Center. To set up a guest user for your course, complete these steps: 1. Click the course name on the My Courses page. The course home page is displayed. 2. Click Modify Course under Display for Faculty Only to display the Modify This Course page. 3. Click Create Guest Users. The Create Guest User Password Request page is displayed. 4. Select how long you want the password to be active (from one to five years). Note You can remove any guest participant from your course at any time 5. Select the access level for your guest user from these options: • Observer—Allows the guest user to access and read forums. Observers are not allowed to respond in forums or add new information. This access level is recommended for guests that use teacher manuals or the career services at lawschool.westlaw.com. • Active participant—Allows the same access rights as students in your class. For example, the participant may be able to post topics or responses in forums. • Administrator/co-teacher—Allows the highest level of access rights. In addition to having full posting rights, this guest user can access your course administration tools. 6. Type the guest name and e-mail address. 7. If you want to add more than one guest user to the course, you can upload a spreadsheet by clicking Browse and selecting the spreadsheet. Click Open. 8. Click Submit Guest. 9. After you request a guest user password, the password is sent via e-mail to the guest participant, and the participant is automatically added to your course and any associated forums. You will receive a copy of the e-mail message as a confirmation that the guest user password has been created and sent. Note All guest user passwords associated with a course become inactive when the course is removed from TWEN. Course Home Page A course home page is the entry point to a course and allows faculty, students, and other interested parties to access general information about the course. As a professor or student administrator, you can include course-related items on the home pages of your courses, such as the class schedule, graphics, audio messages, and other course materials. Each course home page can display three different types of content: course information, text and image uploads, and uploaded documents.
