How do I add teaching assistants to Canvas?
@agrant53 ...
Depending on the permissions that your Canvas administrators have configured at Texas A&M University, you may or may not be able to add users (including Teaching Assistants) on your own. Often, schools will set up their enrollments to happen automatically so that instructors do not have to worry about making sure they have students in their Canvas courses. This typically happens with a connection between the school's SIS (Student Information System) and Canvas. This Guide, How do I add users to a course? - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com), shows you how to add users to a course (if you are permitted to do so). If you cannot add users, then you will need to reach out to Texas A&M's Canvas admin who can help you with this. It looks like there are a variety of support options available on this page: Training and Support - Learning Management System (tamu.edu). Hopefully you'll be able to connect with someone at Texas A&M who will be able to help you. Good luck!

Our college would like to disable the Core Canvas tool "Syllabus" by default, so that it automatically doesn't show on Course Navigation menus. Is that possible? A fellow admin asked our CSM about disabling Syllabus by default, but the CSMs may be understandably busy at the moment. Below I rounded up some past comments…
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
