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

Hi, I'm reading that Amazon is blocking Meta's Muse from making purchases there. Could Instructure have Canvas instances block AI agents similarly - or, leave institutions with the ability to choose to block, etc. etc.? Limiting access tokens is great and all, but we're pretty sure all these web browsers with AI enabled,…
I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?

The error message is "account not linked" after clicking continue at this step: When I try to go into this teacher's course as an admin and…
