Info

Courses that are closed (i.e. past the End date in Course Settings) are in read-only mode.
NUS Tools allows you to add a Teacher to a closed/past course.
1. As all roles are in read-only mode in past courses, there is only one standard role for users added to past courses: the Teacher role. S/he cannot modify the past course.
You will need to have a Teacher-based role in the past course or be a Canvas department representative/unit admin to do this.

Click the three dots on the right.
Click Add Teacher.
