I have allocated 32 groups in a cohort, each with 3 or 4 members. How can I efficiently have class members self establish a numbered discussion group inside the Canvas Discussion menu function?
Go to the People tab and create Groups. You'll have to create the groups and move students into them. Once you've done that, you can keep using the same groups for the rest of the course.
Then when you create a new Discussion, you'll check the box to make it a Group Discussion. The students will then only see their group members' replies.
It's very easy to set all of this up.

Is there a setting where I can hide my students grade summaries on the dashboard but keep the individual category grades visible for them on their main grade page? I'll describe a little below. I want the overall course grade to be hidden from my course image on the students' dashboard with all their other courses, but I…
Hi everyone We recently deployed the new Microsoft LTI in Canvas and have started using the option to create Microsoft Education assignments directly from Canvas. So far, the setup has been very easy and user-friendly. Unfortunately, we've run into a problem: when we try to change the due date of an assignment after it has…
I'm testing whether Mastery Paths can be used to give students early access to an item based on their score, while making the same item available to everyone else on a later date. Here is my setup: A 4-point assignment is the source for the Mastery Path. Students scoring 75–100% are assigned a Solutions item. The Solutions…
