Creating Class

[RobinFelong]

Is a possible to create a classroom but separate students based upon classes and only assign assignments to specific class groups within the same class. (Example - I teach PE and want to do a grade level page for each grade instead of each individual class - If i enroll and the students and group them according to their classes can I then specifically assign certain assignments to them only?

Hi @RobinFelong -

It sounds like you have thought about this a lot, and you have a great use-case.

With differentiated assignments (when you'd assign an activity to only a grade level, etc.), that would be possible with Sections. This is not something that is possible with Groups at this time.

Would your Canvas Admin be able to help you enroll the students by grade or homeroom into sections? You could then assign 5-Anderson, 5-Young, etc. to a single activity.

How do I edit sections for an enrollment in a course? 

How do I assign an assignment to an individual student? (This process works for section too!)
