Step 1:

Set Up Your Account

IH Parent Observer Setup 2019-20

Step 2:

Personalize Your Notification Settings

The default notification settings send frequent e-mails. You must be logged into the web version (not the phone app) of Canvas in order to change these settings.

The suggested setting are to turn on the "Daily Summary" for:

Announcements
Grading
Late Grading
Submission Comments
Global Announcements

All other options can be set to turn off notifications (bell with the slash through it). If you decide you would like more or more frequent information later, you can always adjust these settings.

Step 3:

Learn more about using your observer account.

In the menu to the left, you can view the IH Canvas for Parents webinar recorded in Fall 2021. One recent update to Canvas is not included in there which allows for observers with multiple students to view information on one at a time through a dropdown at the top of the Dashboard screen.
