Hei,
I`m a canvas beginner. I made a group with 4 persons under a subject. How can I add 2 more persons from my course?
Good morning, @IngeborgFrantz ...
If you are an instructor, you can create Group Sets and Groups via the "People" Page of your course. For example, you could name a Group Set the same as an assignment name. Then, within the Group Set, you could create groups of people (Blue Group, Green Group, Red Group, Purple Group, etc.). You could assign people to each of these color groups. Then, you could create another Group Set (again, based on a different assignment name) and then assign groups within that assignment. You could create groups named after animals, for example, and then assign students to those groups...and students wouldn't have to be in the same groups they were in ... in the color groups. In this way, you can add some variety to your course/assignments/groups.
There are several Guides here in the Community on Group Sets and Groups, and you can find all of that here: (3) Instructor Guide - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com). The key is to set up your Group Sets first...then add the groups within each Group Set. Then you can determine how you want people to be assigned to those groups.
Hope this helps a bit. Sing out if you have any questions about this...thanks!
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
Started testing the new Portfolio today. Our K-12 district is new to Canvas and never implemented a portfolio solution. I was testing the share as a studnet using the 'Anyone can view link' to an outside user = does not have a login ID for our instance of Canvas. As the outside user, I am able to open and read the…
