I was recently added as a Co-teacher in two Canvas courses. However, I do not seem to be able to add, edit, or create content. I was under the impression I would be able to do these things as a co-teacher. Is there a way to do that?
Hi @MSTucker,
You'll probably need to reach out to your local Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) to find out what permissions they have set up. By default, there is not a "co-teacher" role in Canvas, so they may have made something custom. It's also possible that you were added with the wrong role selected. Either way, your local team will probably be able to help you a bit better than those os us in the global community of Canvas users here will be able to. We don't have access to your Canvas environment or account or anything to know what's going on with 100% certainty.
Hope this helps a bit, even though it's not a direct answer/solution. Let us know how things work out!

It all depends on the permissions that were created for the Co-Teacher Roll. When the co-Teacher roll was created there could be some permissions that were not turned on, such as grading, adding, editing or creating content. I would recommend checkin with your Canvas admin and see what permissions have been set for the co-Teacher Roll.
@MSTucker ...
I'm not sure what role you were assigned in this particular Canvas course. What role do you see next to your name when you click on the "People" button within the course? If it truly says "co-teacher", that sounds like a custom role that was created by Canvas administrators at your school. If this is the case, they may have configured this role with certain permissions turned on and certain permissions turned off. You'd have to check with your Canvas admin to see what permissions that role has for you. If you see the "Teacher" role, then you *should* have the same permissions that the other teacher has for the course. All this being said, it's probably best to have a conversation with your school's admin or someone from their Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Learning team as soon as possible.
I hope this will help a bit. Sing out if you have other questions...thanks!
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…
