Step-by-Step Guide with Screenshots
1️⃣ Click ****on the course in your "Dashboard" that needs a study group
2️⃣ Click on "People" in the course navigation
3️⃣ Next, click the "+ Group Set" button in the top right corner.
4️⃣ This will open the "Create Group Set" box. Here you will find a number of options to customize the group set for your specific group needs.
- Group Set Name: For the sake of organization and ease of use for students, it is recommended that you name the study group by course code as Canvas will draw all course groups from all course enrollments into the Groups area on the Canvas navigation bar (e.g., ABC123 Study Group)
- Self Sign-Up: Here you can allow students to sign up for groups on their own if this suits your needs. You may also require that students must be in the same section if your course is offered in multiple sections.
- Group Structure: Have Canvas automatically split students into the number of groups you determine (in most cases for study groups you will only need one group) or choose to create groups manually.
- If using the automatic assign feature, you may have Canvas choose a student group leader (the first to join or at random), if applicable. If you set this group up early than 10 days before the course start date, then you will need to come back after the 10 day mark to assign the students.
