How do I make a canvas course go public or how to add people it wouldn't let me?
Hi @dcsgolions,
Are you using the free-for-teacher Canvas instance, or one provided by a school/institution/organization which you're employed by? I ask because there could be significant differences to the procedures to add people. If free-for-teacher, if you created the course you should be able to add users via the people tool. In other instances, you'd likely need to talk to the local Canvas team to figure out how they have enrollments work. Oftentimes enrollments are automated from a student information system (sis), or there may be only specific people who have the ability to add users. It's very hard to say what the exact situation is for you because most of us in the community are just other users from around the world and have no access to your exact Canvas course or account details to offer more specific advice.
I hope this info is useful in some way though.

You also asked about making a course public. The option for doing this is documented at How do I customize visibility options for a course or course content? but your ability to do it may be restricted because of institutional policies.

Hi, I can't get this working right. I've created outcomes where the calculation method is to meet mastery twice. I've aligned them to several assignments. The grade book displays mastery as met when it's only been achieved on one of the assignments. It's not showing positive or negative for the other assignments. (I've…
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
