The Observer role is a feature available to student athletic advisors to follow specific students in eCampus. They have a limited student view of certain aspects of a course and can track student progress. To obtain the Observer role, an athletic advisor cannot have any other active role (ongoing courses) in eCampus, e.g., instructor, course builder, teaching assistant, or student.
Accessing the Observer Dashboard
Log in to eCampus as an Observer.
Click Tools, listed near the bottom of the Base Navigation.
Click Observer.
Click the student’s username to go to the Observer Dashboard Details and list all courses for the selected student.
Click the chevron icon to the right of the Course Name.
Click Observe to access the course.
Observers only have access to specific tools within a course. Once an Observer clicks on a course for a student they are observing, they will have access to view the following course tools:

What will I see as the instructor of a student who is being observed by an advisor?
Instructors will notice that the Users option under Users and Groups has a column titled Observer. The athletic advisor’s username will show in the Observer column for any student they are observing.
