To Our Amazing Educators Everywhere,
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
One of the coolest parts of my job is working with the variety of institutions utilizing Canvas in such unique and different ways. A feature that comes up frequently in conversations is the recommendation of using the Groups feature. I like to call it the "hidden gem" inside of Canvas because it can be used in the traditional sense like group assignments and collaboration, but if folks are open to thinking outside the box, it can be used for so much more like organizations, clubs, departments, mentorship, etc. In this month's Dear Danielle video, I will walk you through how to build and use Groups not only on the course level, but also for your account as a whole, and through the lens of a student. My hope is by the end of this video you feel empowered to utilize groups in a way that will work best for your institution.
Just as a reminder: these videos are aimed at helping you and your instructors with tips and tricks on all things Canvas! I get inspiration for these videos from your form submissions, so if you have not done so already, please make sure to fill out the form to indicate what you want to hear about next! You can fill out this form as many times as you would like and can pass it along to your instructors as well. Finally, if you would like access to all Dear Danielle videos, be sure to visit Dear Danielle: The Full Discography!
See you next time!
Sincerely,
Danielle
