Adding Another Instructor

You can invite users to join your course at any time if through the Page page. When you manually add users to a course, you can add them into any available role, below you will see the permissions that are allowed for a specific role.

      • Teaching Assistants (TAs) provide course support and have some or all of the same permissions as Instructors.
      • Observers can be parents, guardians, and/or mentors. They can be linked to a student and view student progress in the course. 

 

  • In course navigation, click People.
  • Then click the blue button, +People.

Note: That if the person has not verified their email address from the Canvas Invitation, Canvas will not be able to find them.
