Roles in Literably: Teachers, School Admins, and District Admins

There are 3 roles available for an institution's staff members on Literably. These roles can be set in the roster files uploaded to Literably.  You can also create these roles via Clever (more information here) or ClassLink. 

• Teacher
• School administrator (admin)
• District administrator (admin)

A user's role determines the data she can export:

• Instructions on downloading a data export
• Interpreting the data export and Literably term definitions

An admin can also zoom into the class dashboards of individual teachers by clicking on the links to those teachers' names at the bottom of their dashboard (see blue arrow on the screenshot at the bottom of this article). When viewing a teacher's dashboard, admins can click on the purple waffle icon to view comprehension data for that class.

District admin can elevate a teacher to a school admin by clicking on the "Set as Admin" link on this list (see screenshot below).

District/school administrators can also copy students to their own class list for monitoring. To do this, zoom in to a teacher's dashboard, check the checkboxes of the students to add, and click Add to Your Students at the top (see screenshot below).
