Administration

21 January, 2016 - 14:46

Administration has many tools related to course, as in Figure 10.6. An administrator can control the course through the administration tools but can only control these tools by the permission granted, as in Figure 10.6. In our example, all these tools appear for the administrator in the administration site in Ajlan’s High School, as in Figure 10.6.
