Teacher Enrolling as a Student

heathersbender

I provide PD for educators using Canvas LMS.   Some teachers have trouble accessing my PD course shell as a student/participant.  The course doesn't show up in their district Canvas dashboard.  I can see that they accepted the Canvas LMS invitation and are enrolled in my course.  Where should they look to access the course?

Hi @heathersbender,

Generally, every school/district/institution has their own instance of Canvas.  These instances of Canvas are not usually connected together at all.  If I'm a teacher at Apple High School, I'd log into Apple High School's Canvas and see the Apple High School courses I teach.  Now if you develop a training course using Banana Professional Development School's Canvas and invite me using my Apple High School email, I'd get an invite to the course in my email.  When I click the invite, it would prompt me to create a password, then let me into Banana's Canvas.  From that point, every time I want to go to your training course, I'd need to log into Banana's Canvas separately from the Apple Canvas I'm used to.  This isn't difficult, but it's something that may need to be clearly communicated to users.

Hope this helps!
