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

The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
Dear Forum members, In the past, I asked students to hide some worksheets in the Excel files they would upload to Canvas. I was only interested in the results of their Excel analysis, and asked students to hide the worksheets with raw data in them. This worked until last Fall, but now SpeedGrader is rendering all…
