How would each user typically want to use Caption.Ed
Student
A Student user's main functionality is to use Caption.Ed to generate captions when viewing media. They can view their own usage, change their own account details and download the various different versions of the Caption.Ed app. The captions that a Student user generates will also be stored in the main institutional account. A student can also view transcripts for the media they've viewed on their dashboard and download them. However a student will not be permitted to edit transcripts for the institution, they would need to be made a Transcript Editor to do this.
Transcript Editor/ Lecturer
A Transcript Editor / Lecturer is able to use Caption.Ed in the same way as a student, to generate captions. As a Lecturer, however, they are able to edit the transcripts they generate. A Transcript Editor / Lecturer can be assigned transcripts to edit by an institutional admin.
Institution Admin
As the Institutional Admin, you have the most capabilities of all the roles, you are one of the main administrators of the account. An Institutional Admin will be able to create and invite users and set their roles. You will be able to review usage across the site down to a granular level. An Institutional Admin will be able to view all transcripts created across the institution and will also have the ability to assign transcript editing tasks to other users, predominantly users with the role of Transcript Editor.
*All users can use the Caption.Ed apps to generate captions when viewing media.
