Adding people to your Canvas courses is pretty simple. That is, once you’ve done it a couple times.
However, if you never have, it’s not the most “intuitive” process ever. So, here’s how you can add anyone to Canvas… as long as they have a UT EID.

I have been talking often about the learning management system (LMS), Canvas, these past few days.

Like most people, you’ve probably been using Google for ages now. And, I guarantee your students have been too. It’s also likely that your students are not just using Google to search for things, but they’re probably also using Google Apps and Google Drive to create and share documents.

If you’re anything like me, when you think of YouTube you probably think of cat videos and other sorts of general silliness.
But over the last few years, YouTube has grown by leaps and bounds and become the third most-visited Website (after Google and Facebook). It’s also quickly outpacing both network and cable television, especially with younger viewers.

Adobe Connect is one of the remote conferencing tools available for use by UT faculty and staff. It does not directly integrate with Canvas, but you can use it to conduct virtual lectures, conference calls, virtual offices hours, and more.
The first thing you’ll need to do is register via UT’s Service Now website.
