How do you manage assessment people in your Canvas Instance?

[DrTerriC]

We are reviewing our roles and permissions in our instance of Canvas and I am wondering how people better manage those with assessment roles? Our Banner script does not assign CRN's by content area (ie.. there is no grouping range). I am wondering how people have given assessment managers access to needed courses without either making it a manual process or giving them full admin access. .I would love to learn from your solutions.. 

Thanks..

Hi @DrTerriC,

This seemingly easy question could probably get complicated quickly...  I think a lot of it is going to depend on exactly how your assessment process(es) are designed.

I can tell you for my institution, our assessment process for GenEd is designed around specific outcomes assigned to each course (not directly to specific grades/assignments/activities).  Instructors can attach the outcomes to appropriate assignments/quizzes in the course as they see fit.  At the end of the term, I (as our Canvas admin) provide an outcomes report to our assessment coordinator, who then does a bunch of stuff in Excel to evaluate and report on the data in a nice readable way to our campus leadership.

Maybe our method would work for you, but if your assessment process is based more around grades, activities, time, etc, you'd definitely need a different approach.  Hopefully others will see this and chime in as well.
