This link provides an overview of how to Create and Manage Groups in a Canvas course. Groups can be helpful in larger classes to promote student engagement. For example, you can create Group Sets to enhance the quality of Discussions. For a class of 30 students, three groups of 10 will benefit from enhanced interaction than all students trying to read and respond to 30 posts. Faculty have also successfully used Groups to create group assignments (e.g. Case Studies, PowerPoint presentations).
