I'm looking to assign tasks only to certain differentiated groups rather than adding each individual student to the assignment. Is there a way to create these groups within a class?
Hi @mohammam ,
The feature you want is actually Sections, not Groups. Groups is for collaborative work, and all members of a Group can see each others' work. For differentiated assigning, you need to create Sections and then assign to that section.
You would need to create new sections and assign students to them. Students can be in more than one section at a time.
Caveats: Some institutions disable the ability to create sections. Also, if you sync your grades to a separate system, creating new sections may break that link, depending on how your institution has synced the two systems.
How do I add a section to a course as an instructor?
How do I assign an assignment to a course section?
or across crosslinked/listed classes
Thank you

It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…

I want the student to then submit an assignment, or quiz/survey answering a few questions about the specific scenario. The assignment/Quiz is ust to…
