I have a Canvas teacher account and I want to become an observer for my son but I do not want to make a new account. is there a way to become an observer through my teacher account?
@ScienceJar27 It is absolutely possible to observe your son! You can be added to a course your son is in with the Observer role (on your teacher account) and you'll be able to observe him that way no problem! You will need the teacher or an admin to add you to the course, most likely.
Hope this helps, reach out with any questions! Always happy to help!

Is there any way of getting this basic information - the Panda Bot AI assistant suggested clicking on the…
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.

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…
