Group discussion for selected students

[janesro]

Can I set up a group discussion page for certain members of several different courses?

(I am listed as instructor for several sections of Applied Voice.  My own students are registered in several of these sections, along with other instructor's students.  I would like to have some sort of Canvas site where I could hold discussions with my own students.  Blackboard used to be able to accommodate this, but I haven't explored Canvas enough yet to figure out if i can do it here.)

You may want to chat with your local Canvas Admin to see exactly how they are setting up your courses.  If multiple sections are being combined into one that may become very difficult if there are multiple instructors sharing the space.  

If you are looking for assigning a discussion to specific sections then How do I assign a graded discussion to a course section? may help. 

If you're trying to create a discussion across multiple courses that are not cross-linked, then that is not possible.
