A group set is a collection of groups.
You can create the groups themselves in the group category.

- You can create group sets and groups under “People” in each course.
- When groups have been created, they are accessible via a special menu item (Groups) in the Global Menu in Canvas, i.e. on the far left of the screen display.
- Go to “Persons” in the Subject Menu
- Click on “+ Group set” at the top right
- Continue to follow these guidelines to create groups in the group set
Yes, this is possible.
- Go to the group set and click on “+ Import”
- Click on “Download Course Roster CSV”
- Go to the new course, create a new group set (without allotting students) and click on “+ Import”
- Upload the CSV file you downloaded from the previous course
- You can also ask a teacher in a different course with the same students to download a CSV file and send it to you, so that you can upload it directly to your course.
Yes, this can be done in two ways:
First create a group set: Go to “People” in the Subject Menu on the left and click on “+ Group set”. Give the group set a name.

- Now you can specify how many groups are to be created and let Canvas assign the students to these
- You can also specify how many students shall be in each group and let Canvas assign students to the correct number of groups
Yes.
- Create a group set and select “I will create groups later”
- When you now go into the newly created group set you can create groups (by clicking on “+ Group”) and assign students manually:
- By dragging students’ names from the list on the left and dropping them in the correct groups,
- or by clicking on the three dots to the right of the name box and selecting a group
Yes.
- Create a group set and select “Allow self sign-up”
- Then you can specify how many groups are to be created and if necessary limit the number per group. You can later manually assign students who have not signed up.
- Self-enrolment is active until you go in and edit to remove the “self sign-up” option.
- NB: If groups are associated with an assignment, you MUST remove the “self sign-up” option before the assignment becomes accessible for submission (the “available from” date)
Yes.
- Students are always able to create groups themselves in Canvas
- The teacher will find groups created by students as a separate group category under a separate “Student Groups” tab.
- Since students can be members of several student-created groups at the same time, such groups cannot be used for group assignments
- It is important to note that students always see only a single tab for Groups in Canvas, when they click on “People”
- All groups created in a course by a teacher, irrespective of group set, are displayed to students under the “Groups” tab
- All groups created by the students themselves are displayed under the same tab
