Is it possible for an Observer/Parent to message their student through Canvas? Looking for alternative messaging options since we will not be allowing cell phones next year.
Hi there @elainew ,
Thanks for asking on the Instructure Community!
While the canvas admin of your school's canvas environment can change who you're able to message using the Canvas inbox, after doing some testing it appears that parents are always able to message the students they're paired to as an observer with. So the short answer would be yep, you should be able to with no problems!
Hope this helps,Noah

Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
I am trying to use Learning Outcomes for my course which has many sections each term. We currently have no institutional, school or program outcomes. I created a set of outcomes for Section 1 of my course. I then labelled every question in the item banks I was using in my first quiz (New Quiz) of the semester. I got a nice…
