Teacher and Student

unknown

Is it possible for a person who is listed as an instructor for a course to also be a student with the ability to complete the course?  I have created a district course with mandatory trainings that I also have to take myself.  Do I need to create an additional course for me to be a student?

Hello @ROBINKRAUSE 

Thank you for contacting the Canvas Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with creating a dual teacher/student account in a course. Ideally, you should have a separate email on file  to access this as a teacher and student. While it is possible using the sections (teacher in one - student  in the other)  it may get messy with tracking your grades and  giving you  the right permissions for each  role.  Having a second (personal?) email on file that you're  registered for  as a student would  be best.  You could also stay logged in on say two different browsers if  you have two so you aren't constantly logging  in and out. Hopefully this helps!
