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.
Hello @DavidWNg
In addition to what @SusanNiemeyer has said, it sounds like you want the students to be able to make their own discussion posts within their groups. If that is the case, then you'll want to enable this feature within course settings:

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
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…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
