[ARCHIVED] How to make peer review groups, vs. individually assign?

[mavisclare]

I'm using Canvas for peer review for the first time and dismayed to see how few options it allows instructors for organizing this activity. I just spent 30 minutes assigning two sections (of 14 students each) peer review groups. In a live classroom this would take 1 minute -- you three students are a group (all reading each other's work), you three students are a group, etc. But in Canvas you seem to have to assign each student individually for some reason -- giving each permission to read another 2-3 essays? Why isn't a group built in as an option? Can this be incorporated ASAP in future versions? It would be much easier to drag and drop student names into groups vs. assigning each individually over and over.
