Group Discussion and Self-Sign Ups Issue

[murphy_1527]

I have created an assignment that was in a locked module (open August 26th). I created self-sign up group set in the People tab a week before and also created a Discussion board that I then set to group assignment and connected the group set.

As of today, Sept 2, there are no "unassigned" students -they have all joined or been put in a group.

It is assigned to "Everyone".

What I am seeing though is students that are;

1. Currentinly in Group A but
2. Their posts are appearing in the "main" board and NOT in their group discussion.

This is only happening to a few students.

What is going on? I would expect to only see conversations *in* their assigned groups.

Hello! You will need to make sure group sets and groups are created before the Discussion in order for the Group Discussion feature to work. Here is a guide with more information: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-group-discussion-in-a-course/t...
