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 primary concern is student privacy. If the other instructor comes into the class as an Instructor, then he or she would be able to see the students' grades.
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.
I am setting up my courses for this year and I realized that when I opend the mastery-based gradebook, there is no color coding. When I open last years's course that had color-coding last time I opened it in the spring, it no longer has colors. The colors appear in the individual student view, but not in the all class view.
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
