Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Re: Sequence storage LAMS V2 vs LAMS V1

Have just had a play on my laptop version and would like to just confirm a couple of things.

I created a new group called Staff Storage Area. This will act like the old 'public' area.

It looks like I do the following: Manage Groups | Add Users |Assign Roles.

Do staff only need Author roles for this group?

I was thinking of doing this using an Excel spreadsheet based on the roles template. I remember though that there is some caveat about this approach not being cumulative. We have about 80 teachers - is it safer to add the roles manually?

Maybe this is not the place for this question but here goes. I know that there are training courses available but they seem to be mainly on constructing sequences. I think I have a grasp of the basics of authoring. I look after LAMS in between my other duties and getting uninterrupted time to come to grips with LAMS is problematic. What I feel I need is e.g. a one day course combining some of the advanced authoring course and administering the system i.e. overall concept; user management etc.
Is such a course available? How much?

Greg
