Agreed--I just tried to copy and paste from the groups in People (or from a Word document) and it did not work, but that would be a work-around if it did. It has been years of struggle and I'm hoping Canvas gets this fixed soon.

Hi Rob, I wish that were possible, but in my experience (unless I am missing something), Assigning to Groups is only an option when the box is checked for “This is a group assignment.” If it is not a group assignment, then Groups do not show up on the “Assign to” list. If they did, that would solve a lot of problems! Ashley

Thank you. As I understand it, everyone in the "group" can see the other's individual assignments, and people not in the group cannot see them. This is problematic for me. For discussions, I would like everyone in the class to see the discussion, even if only some people are "assigned" to post. For individual papers, it is the opposite. I would like to assign by group but not have them see each other's submissions. Let me know if I am understanding the system correctly.

This idea was submitted previously and archived (see below). I would also request the same thing. For individual assignments, I would like to be able to "Assign to" by Group. I often divide the class into groups with varying discussion assignments or assignment due dates, yet these are individual assignments. I teach large classes, so it is too much work to type in individual names repeatedly. Assign to" Student Groups for Individual Assessment Created on Oct 14, 2015 8:05 AM by Crystal Trotter I want to be able to create Groups based on their modification or need and assign it to that group.Currently we have teachers who have to type in a LOT of student names when it's a modified assignment. Being able to pre-create groups with those students in them and assign or exclude that group would save a lot of time.
