MyCanvas to WUEx Shared Content Workaround

Work around for sharing MyCanvas course content to WUEx.

Sharing a Course Folder in MyCanvas 

  1. Log into WashU MyCanvas and go to the Panopto tab in the course you want to share content from. 
     
  2. Click on the share icon:
  3. Click “Change” under “People and Groups” if needed:
  4. Check the “Keep 1 member as an added user” box and then click “Stop Inheriting”:
  5. Change “Viewer” to “Creator” on the drop-down menu. Then look up your name in the “Add people and groups” tab and select your WashU-Extended-Learning account:
  6. Click “Save”.

The process to share Panopto content from WUEx to MyCanvas is the same, just invert the account you are selecting in step#1.

Once you have completed the steps above, you will have access to the course folder both in MyCanvas and WUEx. Here is how you can add content to the WUEx course:
