Question:
So, I have 2 educator seats. I take one, but I am the owner/admin. If I am not facilitator/educator, would I still have 2 educator seats? Also, my account is saying 2 seats are taking but I do not have anyone else assigned as an educator or facilitator other than myself. Where can I find all people assigned as or who are taking an educator seat? And, what If I only need 3 seats? The plans do not give an option to add one add'l seat. I would need to buy the 5 seat, with over 200 students, which I don't need at this time. There should be a feature to let institutions scale as needed in a smaller increment. Any thoughts or suggestions?
