In April 2019, a new policy governing Learning Assistants (LA) became effective. In conjunction with this policy, a new Learning Assistant role is available in Canvas for approved Learning Assistants. This role will facilitate their functions within the class. Specifically, LAs can manage users, attendance, files and other course content; create and manage discussions, groups, and conversations; and edit the calendar. They do not have access to the gradebook, student submissions, quizzes, question banks, or learning outcomes on Canvas. If you have questions about how to add a user as this role in Canvas, please contact canvashelp@tcnj.edu. If you have questions about the policy and intended use of Learning Assistants, please contact Academic Affairs (academic@tcnj.edu).
