Is there a limit on the number of observers that can be linked to a student?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @SophieDonnelly ...
This Guide doesn't specifically give a number, but if you look under the section "Link Student" and below the screenshot, it says, "You can link additional students to the observer, if necessary."
How do I link a student to an observer in a course?
I hope this will be of some help to you. Sing out if you have any additional questions about this.

Hi @SophieDonnelly ,
In addition to the information provided to you by @Chris_Hofer , I just wanted to add on that I know people that have been linked as an observer to 20+ students. This was mainly for tutors or learning support staff, but it's definitely possible.
Best,
Noah
