My +people button is inactive and I have no idea why. Any suggestions? I need to share the content with another teacher but it won't let me add them to it
@MaureenSacco -
You have to make sure that the course is active. On the settings navigation link, look at the availability dates of the course. If the current date is outside of the range, you will need to change them so that they represent the current dates. I don't think the course needs to be published, but If the dates are valid, and you still can't add then publish the course and try again.
If all of the above is already true, I would contact your canvas administrators at your institution to find out why you cannot add people to a course. I am not an admin, so I do not know if it is possible for them to turn of the +people feature on courses at your institution.

At my community college, I must request permission to add another instructor to my class, and thar instructor has the role of Designer.

The Designer role allows the other instructor access to content, which is all that is needed here.
If your colleague just needs a few items, you can "send" those items without adding him or her to your course. It's very easy to "send" content.
Hi, My institution is starting to use Respondus LockDown Browser. My question concerns an exam using the 'New Quizzes' engine that requires the use of LockDown Browser. Assuming that the 'early exit' feature is enabled in the LockDown Browser settings, if a student exits the exam early, will Canvas allow them to re-enter…
Hello, I am using checkpoint discussions. When I see that I have some submissions in my To Do list to grade, I click on it, go into Speedgrader, and now have to search to see which students have posted or not. It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
