OneTutor distinguishes between two core user roles: Learners and Instructors
Users with instructor rights can create and manage courses in OneTutor. The course materials explicitly note that anyone who should be able to create courses must have the appropriate instructor permissions.
Learners
Learners use OneTutor to access courses and work with the learning content provided in them. Depending on the course setup, this can include:
accessing course materials
using the AI chat
completing quizzes
participating in course-based learning activities
Instructors
Instructors can create and manage courses. Their responsibilities may include:
creating new courses
uploading and organizing materials
creating and editing quiz questions
reviewing course activity and learner progress
configuring course settings
Only users with the required instructor permissions can create courses.
Additional roles within a course
Within a specific course, OneTutor can also distinguish between different management functions:
Course owner: The main person responsible for the course.
Co-managers: Additional team members who can be invited to help manage the course, for example by uploading materials or creating quiz questions.
