Appoint and assign a group supervisor

Schools that join the Bourstad Program can create different groups in a private simulation and in the Bourstad Challenge. For each group, one or more group supervisors can be designated. Here are the steps to assign a group supervisor and assign responsibility for one or more groups.

The creation of a simulation must be carried out by the Institutional Head of Bourstad within the school.

The steps listed below assume that an Institutional Head has logged into their account and the Institutional Head profile is displayed, which is the case at login.

Figure 1. Illustration of the first 3 steps
  1. Request option Group supervisors in the Administration group of the Institutional Head menu
    The Manage Group Supervisors webpage is displayed.
  2. Select your school from the drop-down list.
    A table of previously named group supervisors and their assignments is displayed. If no group supervisor has been designated yet, only the table column headings are displayed.
  3. Click on the link +Add a group supervisor which appears above the table on the right.
    The New Group Supervisor form is displayed.

  2. Click next.

The next steps describe the process followed when the new group supervisor's email address is already registered in the Bourstad application.

  5. When the invited person creates an account in the Bourstad application, the Institutional Head receives an e-mail notice, which then makes it possible to appoint the supervisor and assign him to different groups of participants.
