Getting a Course Assigner Role for your SAGE Campus account:

In order to get the extra faculty/instructor permissions on the platform that enable you create cohorts and assign courses to students/researchers, you need a Course Assigner role. Please email ElectronicResources.Library@eku.edu to request a Course Assigner Role.

SAGE Campus has 3 user roles on the platform with different permissions and features:

  1. Learner - for users wanting to take courses themselves for their own learning
  2. Course Assigner - for users wanting to assign courses to students/researchers and track their progress
  3. Institutional Administrator - for librarians or administrators looking after the institution’s SAGE Campus subscription

All users automatically get the learner role so they can get our full, personalized learner experience. Once you, as a faculty member, get a Course Assigner role on the platform, you can switch between your learner role experience on the platform, and your ‘Cohort Assigner’ role which has additional functionality.

You switch roles by selecting the ‘role’ icon in the header of SAGE Campus and selecting the role you wish to use for you current session on the platform.

Once you have a Course Assigner role on the platform you can create cohorts of students, assign courses for the cohorts to take, and track the progress of each student on the cohort.

Watch this brief tutorial below on how to create cohorts and assign courses to students.

Each SAGE Campus course comes with a signed certificate that learners can download from the end of each course page, that unlocks when they complete the course. Faculty with a Cohort Administration role on the platform can download the course certificates at anytime (even if they have not completed the course) so they can view what their students and researchers they assigned courses to will receive.

Progress tracking on the dashboard

For courses to be marked as 100% complete and move from the ‘In Progress’ section to ‘Completed’ section on your dashboard, you must completed all modules.

Progress tracking in modules

If you’re not sure why your dashboard progress isn’t at 100%, you can look within the courses themselves. When you enter a module, you can see your percentage completion for each topic.

Progress tracking in topics

Once you’ve gone into the topic you haven’t completed, there’s a quick way to jump to each item you haven’t completed. Click on the icon in the top right hand corner of the course and you’ll be shown a checklist of the items within the topic and green ticks for what you have completed.

Learner Pathways & Module Mapping

learner pathways from navigating information, getting started with data, research planning, collecting & managing data, analyzing data, reporting findings, and getting published

There are currently 280+ hours of online courses on the SAGE Campus platform, with 50+ new hours added in 2022. Courses cover critical skills and research methods that can be applied across all stages of academic study; from undergraduates looking to critically assess information to researchers looking to report and publish their data. 


Learner Pathways

All SAGE Campus courses are stand-alone, so learners can easily pick and choose what they would like to learn. This also allows faculty to assign single courses to students. However, courses have also been mapped into the following learner pathways that achieve specific learning outcomes that align with learner and faculty needs. Select a topic below to visit the designed learner pathway on SAGE Campus:
