I have 4 sections of the exact same class. I want to be able to create groups within those individual sections and then create peer reviews from those individual sections. How can I do that?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Kimberly,
Are each of the 4 sections in their own Canvas Course, or cross-listed into a single course? If they each have their own course you can simply follow the instructions in this page to create the Peer review assignment How do I create a peer review assignment?
If all 4 sections are cross-listed into a single course it's a little more difficult. Canvas has the ability to restrict students (an TAs and Teachers) to only view student in their own section within a cross-listed course. If you have the enrollments set this way and follow the above linked instructions it should ensure they students only get assigned to people in their sections. Here is a link showing you where to check how this is currently set and how to change it https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13026-415257133 .
Hope that helps,
Rick

The solution above is not the solution if you have a course that has been populated from the SIS. This creates the main section where all students are members. I would like to be able to select the section when I create my groups/groupset.
