There seems to be no way in Canvas to get a downloadable list of members in a group. Even for a moderately large class this is a serious difficulty. it is even difficult to compile the list manually since (a) the names are often truncated and (b) they are not alphabetical. is there any workaround to solve this?
jeff, you are correct that there isn’t anything built into Canvas that allows you to do this. Yet, there is a way you can still do this using the following - Automated report of group sets, groups and members in a course
Hope this helps!
Thanks Kona- I had this exact same request again today where a faculty member has 100 groups in a course and wants to see the membership so he can assign specific readings. I agree with Rob Ditto this should be standard functionality.
Thanks for this! It works a treat and really saves me time.
jJeff, while Kona pointed you toward Jaap Stelpstra's terrific grassroots solution, I agree with you that our institution expects this type of report/export to be available in built-in Canvas functionality. When you can, please upvote these popular feature ideas:
