[ARCHIVED] TA's and "Ask your instructor a question."

[jonesn16]

Because of my institution's particular needs, I am trying to find a way to add TA's to a course so that they can only interact with students in a particular section in Canvas. In particular, we want it so that when a student goes to the help menu and clicks "Ask your instructor a question," it will send their question to their TA instead of every instructor in the course, if possible. I've been looking at https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10770 but that's just a starting point.

Technically I tried enrolling them as "Teachers" in the course under the People page, checking the box to restrict users to only interact with other users in their section. But that didn't appear to do anything.

Any thoughts?

 @jonesn16 ,

First, I want to apologize for your question sitting in the community for so long without a response.

Second, it looks like you have stumped the Canvas Community.  Were you able to find an answer to your question? I am going to go ahead and mark this question as answered because there hasn't been any more activity in a while so I assume that you have the information that you need. If you still have a question about this or if you have information that you would like to share with the community, by all means, please do come back and leave a comment.

This question is still unanswered for me. I would love to find a way to do this.

I would love to find a way to do this. We have several courses with several teachers and the teachers are getting frustrated when they are receiving questions from students not assigned to them in their section. If this is not possible at the moment then please submit as a feature idea.

Hello,  @natacha_hes ‌.

It sounds like the sections for individual teachers are cross-listed into a single course shell. Is there a compelling reason to do this?

Best regards,

Nelson

Hi Everyone ~ I'm reviewing questions that haven't had activity in the last six months, and I want to take the opportunity to check-in. Should this question remain open for discussion? Has anyone found a solution that could be shared back to the Community?

Hi again, everyone, since we haven't had activity on this thread for quite some time, we're going to mark it as Assumed Answered (How we keep your questions flowing!‌). The question remains open for participation.

This question remains unanswered and is still an issue. I would very much like to see a response other than "It has been a really long time since you guys asked us this question, again, and we still haven't answered it, so we're going to consider the matter closed, again."
