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 everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
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…
