Is it possible to add people with an external email address to a Canvas page? Can they be made Instructor, too?
Hi there, @BirgitNewman ...
This is probably a better question to ask your school's IT person (or whoever helps with getting accounts enrolled in your school's Canvas environment). For us, all our user accounts are added first through our SIS (Student Information System), and then those accounts are passed along to Canvas. If you had a rare instance where someone outside of the school needed access to a course in your Canvas environment, your Canvas administrator could manually create an account for that person and then enroll him/her in one or more courses. Depending on how your school's login process is set up, your school's Canvas admin may need to provide a different URL for this person to get logged in. It really depends on how your school's login is set up, so this is why having a conversation with your IT department or at least someone from your school's Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Learning team will be helpful.
Hopefully you'll be able to connect with someone at your school soon. Good luck!

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…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
