Add a Colleague to my Canvas Course

Add to a Development Shell

You do not need to submit a help ticket to add a colleage (MSJC employee) as a teacher to your development shell course. Any user enrolled as a teacher in the course can add another person to the course.

Please review the MSJC guide for instructions on how to add a peer to your development shell.

PLEASE NOTE:

You cannot add students to your development shell.
You can only add someone with an active employee email address (example: jdoe@msjc.edu) to your development shell.

Add to an Active course

If you are trying to add a peer to an active course, you will need your dean's approval. Please contact your dean's office to have your peer added as an instructor of record in colleague and they will gain access to your active course in Canvas. This process has been established with FERPA guidelines in mind.

If the dean provides approval, please note that the instructor will have full edit permissions and access to student records. If you don't want the teacher to be able to edit anything it is recommended that you create an export of your course (Course Export Canvas Guide) and provide the file to your peer who can then import it into their development shell (Course Import Canvas Guide) for review.

Optionally, you can use direct share to share course content with your peer(s); you can share announcements, assignments, discussions, pages, quizzes, and modules. Once the content has been shared, your peer can preview the shared content and import content items into their course or courses from the received content list (Manage Shared Content Canvas Guide).

PLEASE NOTE:

You can only share content with people who have an active employee email address (example: jdoe@msjc.edu).
