Q: How can I add a student as a TA to my course
A: In the Course Roster (Details and Actions panel on the left side) click on the plus sign in the circle at the top right corner of the page and select Enroll People.
- In the search box, type a name, username, or at least two letters to reveal a list of matches. People already enrolled in your course don’t appear in the search results.
- Select one or more people. They immediately appear in the roster list. To reverse a selection, select a person’s name again.
- Choose a role for each selected person.
- Select Save. The panel closes. At the bottom of the roster, a message appears with the names of the people you added.
