Getting Started with Groups in Canvas

Canvas  Groups  are a way for instructors to organize students within a course for group assignments, group discussions, or other collaborative work. The Groups tool creates course-like areas in Canvas that include the following navigational options:

• Announcements
• Discussions
• BigBlueButton (Formerly Conferences)
• Collaborations

Managing Group Sets

Managing groups, managing group enrollment, managing group activities & content.

A  Group Set  is a collection of groups. A new Group Set is needed for every assignment that calls for a new grouping of students. When getting started with Group Sets, learn to:

• Create a Group Set with the Canvas guide  How do I add a group set in a course?
• Edit a Group Set with the Canvas guide  How do I edit a group set in a course?

Do not delete a group set after submissions have been made by any group in that set.

Use unique group names in order to ensure students can identify which course the group is from, as all of their groups are listed in a single place outside of the course.

Do not delete a group after a submission has been made by that group.

Groups  are the specific groupings of students within a Group Set.  When getting started with Groups, learn to:

• Automatically create groups in a group set with the Canvas guide  How do I automatically create groups in a group set?
• Manually create groups in a group set with the Canvas guide  How do I manually create groups in a group set?
• Create self sign-up groups in a group set with the Canvas guide  How do I create self sign-up groups in a group set?
• Allow students to create groups with the Canvas guide  How do I allow students to create their own student groups?

Students can only belong to one group in a group set. This precludes them from taking part in group work or group discussions in Canvas in multiple groups for the same assignment/activity.

Do not change membership in a group after a submission has been made by that group.

When enrolling students in Groups, learn to:

• Automatically enroll students in groups with the Canvas guide  How do I automatically assign students to groups?
• Manually enroll students in groups with the Canvas guide  How do I manually assign students to groups?
• Assign a student leader to a group with the Canvas guide  How do I assign a student leader to a group?
• Change group enrollments with the Canvas guide  How do I move a student into a different group?
• Prevent students from changing self sign-up group enrollment with the Canvas guide  How do I prevent students from switching groups in self sign-up groups?

While students can manage their Group spaces in Canvas, instructors are able to generate activities for groups and view group content. When managing group activities and content, learn to:

• Grade Group Assignments in the SpeedGrader with the Canvas guide  How do I grade group assignments in SpeedGrader?
• Create a graded Group Discussion with the Canvas guide  How do I assign a graded discussion to a course group?
• View a group’s files with the Canvas guide  How do I view group files as an instructor?
• View a group’s content and student group activity with the Canvas guide  How do I view content and student activity within a group as an instructor?

Cleaning Up Your Canvas Gradebook & “Assignments” Page

by Bill Hamlin | Nov 6, 2020 | Blog , Canvas , Technology Updates

Your “Assignments” page controls how your gradebook looks. Use the tips below to check or adjust your grading system, and to clean up your gradebook and “Assignments” page.

Double-check your grading system

Do you use a weighted grading system? Do you have an exclamation mark in the total column? Do you or your students see a 0% for their total grade? These might be resolved by verifying the type of grading system your Canvas course is using.

• On your “Assignments” page, click the options button at the top right and click “Assignment Groups Weight.”
• If you use a weighted grading system, check the box next to “Weight final grade based on assignment groups,” and move to step 2.
• If you do not use a weighted grading system, be sure that box is not checked and you are done.
• For weighted grading systems, you will then assign percentages to your various assignment groups. These percentages will be displayed on your “Assignments” page and in your gradebook.

Clean up your assignments page

Does your “Assignments” page have extra assignments, quizzes, or discussions you are not using? Are there items from a course template that you need to delete? Do you have unused assignment groups cluttering your page that migrated over from Blackboard? Clearing these out of your “Assignments” page will improve your organization and clean up your gradebook. Please note that deleting assignments, quizzes, discussions, and assignment groups from the “Assignments” page will permanently delete them from the course.

1. Delete unused/empty assignments, quizzes, or discussions

2. Delete unused assignment groups
