I incorrectly created a student account for myself when I should have created a parent observer account. Is there a way to change the account from student to parent? I don't want to have to create a new email to create a parent account.
Hi @AWood70,
I think I have some good news for you. It doesn't really matter what you select when you create your account, you can still pair with your child and observe them, the directions are just slightly different... You can follow the How do I link a student to my user account as an o... - Instructure Community - 539 guide and log in with the account you already made (you can ignore the part that says you had to create a parent account, the accounts are basically all the same in the end).
Let us know if this works for you!

More about the Observer Role is available here: Observer/Parent Getting Started Guide.

This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
