We have had embedded student mentors in our science engineering and math courses. We need to find out what courses these mentors were in but there is no role assigned to them. Is there a way to find these courses and mentors with in the canvas system. is there a role they could be assigned to that has no ability to access grades but can see into the course but also does not affect the students ability to be in courses of their own as a student using the Pearson math curriculum. we have had thar issue in the past assigning a mentor role. How would this be searched?
Hey @MarkSteward ,
Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!
I recommend creating a custom role at the account-level called mentor, and base it off of either the TA or designer role. You are able to fully customize what these roles can access, including if they can see grades, manage assignments, quizzes and pages (and if so, which they can edit if not all of them), and other things like that.
From there, once you enroll those users into the course, when you open Admin and search people, there is a drop-down box that allows you to search by role, and all the people with that role will appear. You can then click on that person's name, and you can see all the courses and groups they are enrolled in, and what role they have in each of those courses (whether its mentor or something else).
I'll provide some links to guides below that have more detailed information!https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-new-user-role-in-Canvas/ta-p/99

I wonder if there is a way to look back in time and find these student mentors in courses as far back as 2023?

Hello! I would like to request a feature. Grading quizzes takes such a long time because I either have to grade each assessment individually or wait for the page to reload every time I try to look at another students' work using the grade by question feature. On other programs, like Google Forms and DataLink, all of the…
Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones. Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
