How to Display Content on Course Pages for Teacher Role?

Hi-

We want to include content (likely just links) directly within certain course pages that will only display for the teacher role. These links will go to teacher resources for the course as a way to provide a teaching guide.

Can anyone suggest a way I might do this? I have Kynnethware installed already .... maybe some javascript to go along with that?

Thank you!
Matt

Sorry, Matt, I misunderstood, but I think we're close.

What if you edited the HTML of the pages to embed id attributes, then use code incorporating the condition I provided to target those id's and insert hyperlinks to the teacher-only materials?

Hey matt5834, hopefully someone will come along and answer your specific question, but I know of at least one other way to accomplish this. You could start all your new course shells out with an unpublished module that contains links for the faculty.

Here's how I added a left navigation tab visible only to teachers:

if (document.URL.indexOf('courses') > -1 && ENV.current_user_roles.indexOf('teacher') > -1) {    $('div#left-side nav ul#section-tabs').append('https://www.samuelmerritt.edu/online_faculty_resources">Faculty Resources');}

At the moment I don't remember why the 'class="collaborations"' bit.
