Hello @shari_bowers
I understand that another teacher made you a TA in her course and you are curious how you can access the course.
When you are added to another Canvas course with a TA or Instructor role, you will receive an invite through the Canvas dashboard and your email. When you log into Canvas, the invite will be on your dashboard, at the top of the screen. Once you see the invite, you can click on the Accept button and from there you will be able to access the course from the dashboard and All Courses list.
If you have not received the invite, you might want to double check with the instructor who tried to add you to the course. I have seen some cases where the instructor has added a TA to a course with an incorrect email address. You can double check your email address that is in use within Canvas by clicking on the Account button and selecting Settings. Your email address will be listed to the right under Ways To Contact.
Hopefully this helps!

When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
