  To find more information about creating rubrics, please check out our article: Creating Rubrics

  You can learn how to use rubrics, standards, scores and comments for collaboration and self-reflection here.

  *Need help devising a Rubric/Standards? We have tons of experience working with teams that use rubrics for instructional coaching, teacher preparation, peer mentoring, and self-reflection. We even have sample Rubrics you can adapt for your program. Email us: [e-mail].

• As a Team Owner, you can change the name of your Team,  define sharing options available for your Team Members, decide whether Team members can create groups and whether Team Admins can see the content of other Team members. You can also assign a Team Admin to be a new Team Owner in case of necessity. Please note, there can be only ONE Team Owner of the Team. You can find more details here

• Team Accounts

  When you purchase a Team subscription, you are acquiring a number of Pro accounts ($75 each) for your Team. There are a few roles you will need to become familiar with to decide who needs what kind of access on your Team.

  A Team may only have one Team Owner (who occupies one Pro seat), and that person can choose to upgrade other Pro Users to become Team Administrators (who also occupy Pro seats on the Team) to help manage the Team and control some user-facing settings. You are allotted an unlimited number of Standard users free of charge but their privileges are limited. If, during an academic year you decide that you need more Pro licenses, you can always add them to your Team, just contact your Success manager.

• Shadow Login is a Team Admin privilege. Shadow Login will temporarily allow you to access a Team Member's account as if you were logged in with their credentials. This feature allows you to locate a video and "send a copy" of the video to yourself, if needed. One common use-case for this feature is for Admin to send copies of videos to themselves so they can create a best practice video library.
  
  To access Shadow Login, from the Admin Dashboard, go to Security settings. Toggle on for "Shadow Login as user". Next, go to the Team Members page. In the Action column, click on the 3 dot menu for a Team Member. Select "login to this member's account".
  
  Click on the "fullscreen" enlarge arrows at the bottom right corner of the video for easier viewing
  
  

• Once you log into your Swivl Teams account, you will automatically be directed into your Administrator Portal.

  

  1. To access the user side of your account, click on your name and email in the upper right corner, and select "Switch to User"

  

  2. To switch back, just follow the same path, only this time select "Switch to Admin."
