Course sections with different teachers. Teachers can control their sections?

[melanie2]

Here's what we want. Is this possible?

One course with many sections. Each section has its own teacher. Each teacher can:

• email just her section
• mute/unmute just his section
• control grades for just her section

Thanks,

Melanie

Hello Melanie,

If you create multiple sections within the course ( How do I add a section to a course as an admin? ), enroll the teachers only in one section and set them so they can only interact with members of the same section (https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13026-415257133 ), then I believe that will only allow the teacher to email and grade members of their own section.

However, there is no "mute/unmute" (do you mean publish/unpublish?) just at the section level.  That is something that is done with the course, or individual items within the course.

Yes. I do mean can each teacher have control to publish/unpublish just their section of the course. And I guess the answer is no.

Thanks. I'll organize them with a system like you suggested.

Hello!   We have done exactly as described-    Created a Course with Multiple Sections.   We have enrolled students into Individual Sections and also 'enrolled' a Teacher to each of the Sections.    We are finding, however that ALL Teachers can still see ALL students- including those from Sections they are NOT assigned to.   The Teachers are also getting NOTIFICATIONS about other students who are NOT theirs.      Is this common!?   Our Teachers are complaining a LOT about this, and we've tried to fix it with no luck so far.

Hi Kevin,

Just to confirm, did you set the instructors enrollments to "only interact with their own section"?  https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13026-415257133
