Roles in Canvas are managed and updated through feeds provided by Colleague daily. The Teacher role is identified as the Instructor of Record for a course, while Students are enrolled in a course through the Registrar.
Canvas offers various course roles, including Teacher, Guest Teacher, Teaching Assistant (TA), Non-Grading TA, Peer Tutor, Designer, and Observer. All non-student roles must complete FERPA training before accessing their assigned courses. Instructors can add users to a course using their TWU Username (Login ID) in the course settings. The Instructor of Record should be familiar with the Intellectual Property Policy. Assigning the Guest Teacher role grants the new teacher permission to access and reuse the course materials.
