Adding TA's to a course
Department Admins have the ability to add and remove TA's from a course. If you have a new department TA, please ensure that all paperwork is completed with the Office of Student Employment. Once officially hired, Student Employment will direct the IT Service Desk to create a student employee account with access to Canvas.
If you would like the TA to have access to all department courses, please email lmssupport@mastes.edu. If you would only like to add them to specific courses, you can do so following these steps.
- In the course of your choice, navigate to People.
- Select + People
(1) Select Login ID
(2) Enter the TA's email
(3) Change Role to TA
(4) Click Next
You will now see your TA listed in the people section of the course! Your TA will receive an email from Canvas with a link to accept the course invitation, and the course will then appear on their dashboard.
Please ensure that your TA's are signing into Canvas with their student employee account to access any resources or courses related to their work.
Importing Courses and Content
If a course has been taught previously, the simplest way for professors to begin preparing Canvas content for the semester is by importing previous course content.
If you need to import content from another course, you can follow the instructions in our help doc here: How do I import content from another course?. You can either import the course in full, or selected portions.
If you experience any errors while following the import instructions, please reach out to lmssupport@masters.edu.
