Module 1: Getting Started with Canvas

As a TA, you should be given access to the Canvas course site automatically, shortly after you are added to SIS as a teaching assistant. You'll be able to access the course site before the term begins with your TA access.

You probably already received an email from Canvas that included the link, but if not your best bet is to start at the login page. Select Canvas Login, and you can login using your UML username and password. If you don't see the course you are looking for, ask the instructor if you have been added to the course in SIS as a TA.

Please be sure to connect with the professor before you add or change anything in Canvas.
Instructors will often copy past materials into their course sites, or have specific ways that they like to do things.
Take the instructor's lead before making changes

Once you are logged into Canvas, have spoken with your instructor, and are clear on what tasks you will be performing in Canvas, you should get acquainted with the interface as you will experience it with TA access. This video will orient you to the platform and get you going.
