In our library module the librarians are referred to as "Teachers." The +People drop down does not include the word "Teacher" as a choice. Is there another way to assign users the desired title?
Hi @BryanBurkhead,
What you see in the +People dropdown is what Canvas calls roles. Sometimes a role might match someone's title, but that's not always going to be the case unless a lot of custom roles are created (which is doable, but can create a permissions nightmare for admins). Regardless of a person's title, their role in Canvas indicates what they can do in Canvas. So in this case, librarians are teaching the course in some manner.
As for you not seeing the teacher role when you click the +People button, that's likely something your Canvas team is controlling via permissions. Many times schools/institutions will allow teachers to add assistants or something on their own, but things like a teacher or student would only be added by an integration with your school/institution student information system. You could reach out to your Canvas team to find out more about the processes in place for you.
I hope this helps a bit!

We recently discovered an intermittent issue in which New Quiz scores are not populating in Grades or SpeedGrader. We reported this to Canvas Support (Case #13495368) and were informed that this is a known intermittent issue, with their engineering team actively working on a fix. As a workaround, Canvas Support advised…
We are looking to take better advantage of the portfolio offerings. Currently, it doesn't appear that evaluation portfolios are ready for multi-semester updating at the higher ed level. But with showcase portfolios, how are other instructors keeping track that students have completed the requirements? Just through visiting…
It would appear that there is a new interface for speedgrader and the rubric is now defaulted on, rather than having the tab with the option to use the rubric. I do not use the rubric unless I am deducting points. That means that I do not need rubrics very often. It looks like I can opt for "show old speedgrader UI" and…
Hello, I have some general, technical questions about Canvas quiz and activity logs and their interpretation. I am trying to better understand how these logs work from a technical perspective and what they are designed to capture. I am not asking about any specific case. Specifically, I am hoping to clarify: What types of…
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.
