After a "group" is set up, will the students get a notification?
Are students able to start their own group?
Are students able to start their own "discussions" for their "groups".
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Hi there @JenniferWetzel ,
Welcome to the Instructure Community!
Once you create a group inside of a course and add a student to it, depending on the student's notification settings, they may or may not receive a notification that they were added as a member to a group. Depending on the course settings, students may or may not be able to create their own groups. If this is something you would like your students to have access to, I'd recommend that the check box in your course's settings isn't checked off, disallowing students from creating their own groups. By default, students can create their own groups.
When students are enrolled in those groups, they are able to create their own discussions, upload their own files, send out announcements and group messages, and even start a BigBlueButton conference, if they are permitted to (that is determined at the account-level).
In addition, I thought I'd provide you with a link to a guide that has some additional information about groups. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-are-Groups/ta-p/16
I hope this helps, please reach back out with any questions!
Best,Noah

Hi, I can't get this working right. I've created outcomes where the calculation method is to meet mastery twice. I've aligned them to several assignments. The grade book displays mastery as met when it's only been achieved on one of the assignments. It's not showing positive or negative for the other assignments. (I've…
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
