Shared Courses - Canvas • Faculty will continue to access their MyWAOL
page from within Canvas. • The instructor’s account from the teaching
school is enrolled in the shared course. • Our plan is to have all shared courses in the
teaching college Canvas sites, instead of in SBCTC Canvas as they are now. This should help with manageability, so the local e-learning staff can help administer the courses. We’re working with Instructure and the college e-learning coordinators to get this done in time for Summer quarter.
