Kelly, Stefanie was of great help. I was under the impression after my initial question on the community board that this thread  was submitted for recommendation for a possible new feature for flexible assignments for instructors (should it not be available at all). I fully understand I am using a free version and am much appreciative that it is offered. Sessions are the same as classroom instruction but virtual/zoom for 3 hour periods. We review homework, discuss the objectives of the particular subject, and use breakout rooms. When we use a guest expert most have a PowerPoint presentation and we do not use a lecture format. our sessions are interactive. Should an expert be teaching as an instructor they would use our curriculum as a guideline to incorporate the learning objectives for that day.  I was just looking to plug in instructors where needed without them having full access to the entire 28 week course and at the same time have access to the material needed. there are other ways to complete this task such as file sharing.  I am a big fan of Canvas, if it were up to me we would have a subscription. We are not where we need to be to do that yet.  Thank you for your time and information. The fact that you and Stefanie has spent this much time addressing my post is appreciated. Always Grateful, Davidf       ... View more

Yes we are. We specialize in helping Veteran business owners grow their business with the core curriculum base around completing a 3 year growth plan or a 12 month turn around plan. We bring in experts that specialize in the main topic being covered usual as a guest expert in addition to the instructor/teacher but sometimes utilize them as the instructor for a particular module or session.   ...

Stefanie,   Thanks for your support on this- much apricated. I will look at the TA role and review the "how do I assign an assignment" link  ... View more

Not sure I completely understand your question but when we enter subject matter/curriculum 99% of it is designated as an "assignment" that we select on the drop down menu.  The assignment tells the participants what material to read, what homework needs to be completed prior to the zoom meeting, downloads that have been entered into canvas and sometime links to URLs. We imbedded a zoom link using canvas to zoom platform and it shows up in the course   ... View more

Sure, thanks for the quick response, much apricated. Each course has modules and within the module it has sessions. Having the ability to assign instructors to not only a course but a specific module or session(s) within a particular module would be helpful.  Example: Module One: The ABC's of Marketing Session 1: Identifying your customer base Session 2: Objectives and strategies Session 3: Social Media Lets say I have 2 different instructors presenting this material. Session 1, 2, and 3. If it was just one instructor I would assign the whole module to that individual, but I had two instructors I would then need to assign the sessions within the module.  If the course has 5 modules I may need to assign an instructor to 3 of the modules but only certain sessions within those five modules.   ...

Yes, a simple user friendly way to convert students into zoom breakout rooms would be fantastic at an least export file  ... View more
