NameCoach Roster Views

Overview

The NameCoach Roster allows you to hear the proper or preferred pronunciation of instructor and classmate names. The roster view differs slightly depending on whether you are accessing it as a teacher or a student.

Teacher View

As an instructor, you will see all students in your course roster. You can play name recordings, see phonetic spellings, and monitor which students have recorded their names.
