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

Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." 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…
