Introduction
Courses and student rosters are created by an integration in MPathways for most Medical School departments that offer Master and Ph.D programs, similar to central campus (this bucket is known as the Medical School Canvas Subaccount).
Courses and student rosters for Medical Student Education (M.D. program) are created manually with assistance by HITS as needed. There is no integration with MPathways for these programs (this bucket is known as the Medical School - UMMS Canvas Subaccount).
These instructions will apply to Master/Ph.D. programs who need to add additional users and to Medical Student Education staff/faculty who need to upload course rosters/add additional users.
Instructions
Utilizing the Canvas Course-Manager tool
Canvas Course Manager Instructions are provided by ITS on how to upload sections/groups/users to Canvas sites. This is a behind the scenes mechanism to
- Add Sections/Groups in bulk
- Add users in bulk to a section/group that does not produce an email/Canvas notification
- Add both non-UofM users to a course
Utilizing the People tool
Instructions for the People tool in Canvas are provided by the vendor. They are on uploading users to a course by the People tool in each individual Canvas site. This prompts a notification to the user for them to accept the invitation to the course. They will only be able to access the course as a student if the course is published.
| Note: When adding users with the People tool, do not check the box "Can interact with users in their section only" unless that behavior is needed for faculty/TA grading. |
