In DigitalDesk, to assign a teaching assistant (TA) or associate instructor (AI) to a section:

Go to Scanning Results: Digital Desk.
Log in with your IU username and passphrase.
This requires Two-Step Login (Duo).
You'll see the DigitalDesk "Instructor Tools" dashboard, which displays the status of exams processed the current day, as well as messages from the system administrator.
On your DigitalDesk dashboard, in the menu bar at the top, click Settings.
Under "Sections", use the drop-down list to select the desired section. (Teacher assistances can search by course.)
Enter the IU username for the AI or TA; alternatively, enter the person's email address or university ID number. Then, click Search.
When prompted, confirm your selection.
Click Add TA.
