[ARCHIVED] Mixed roles on Canvas

I am a home educator that has a student taking two outside classes that utilize Canvas. I am enrolled as an "Observer" for those classes. I like the format so much that I would like to utilize Canvas for the three classes I teach the student. What is the best way to handle this from an administrative viewpoint?  If I sign up as a teacher, will my account show both my observer classes and my instructor classes?  More importantly, will my student be able to see all five classes from a single log-in with a combined calendar?

Thank you for the help.

 @lmbwdb ​, as long as you use the same email address (account) to create your Canvas courses you will have access to those courses as a teacher while having access to the other courses as an observer - all in the same place. Same goes for the students - as long as you add the students using the same email address (account) that they used to enroll in the other courses they will have all five classes in the same place with a combined calendar.

Hope this helps!
