Following are the steps to follow in order to add a student or teacher to a course in the canvas platform.
Manual addition to a course: Here a Teacher or Sub-account Admin can create the student or teacher. This will generate an email (depending on the canvas update, it may send 2 emails) to the student or teacher asking to validate the email address of the user. This needs to be done for the student to continue to have access to the course. At the time of writing this, Canvas allows the student initial access but will block repeated access after the 1st access to the site.
A student can check if their email address has been validated by navigating to the ‘Account’ > ‘Settings’ tab. The ‘Email Addresses’ section will either display a star next to your email address or an exclamation mark. If there is an exclamation mark, you can click on this to re-send the verification email. If a student is unable to access this, a member of the LV staff can act as the user, navigate to the settings and send the email on their behalf.
