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!
Hello, I am looking for an instructional designer to help reformat some of our courses. This would be an as needed/after hours type gig. Any suggestions?
As it is now, assignments that are dropped show to the students as a slightly lighter font color. However, if students do not complete an assignment that is then dropped, the font color doesn't change at all and it shows as "missing" in red. Why not just change all dropped assignments to "Dropped" instead of "missing"?…
Our H5P LTI assignment scores are not returning to the gradebook 9 times out of 10. It's been going on since 15 September, and we are not aware of any event or change at that time that might have caused the issue. The H5P reports confirm students have completed the assignments, therefore ruling out user error. Is anyone…
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.
