How do I manually create groups in a group set?

In Course Navigation, click the People link.

Click the Add Group Set button.

Add a name for the group set [1]. Select whether you would like to allow self sign-up [2]. Make sure the I'll create groups manually option [3] is selected. Then click the Save button [4].

Click the Add Group button.

Name the group by typing in the Group Name field [1]. If you want to limit groups to a specific size, enter the maximum number of group members in the Limit groups to field [2]. Click the Save button [3].

Note: If your group set allows self sign-up and you set a group limit for the entire group set, the group limit will apply to each individual group you create. The option above allows you to modify the limitations within an individual group, such as changing one group to allow a few more members than the other groups. However, at a later time if you decide to edit the entire group set and change the group set limitations, Canvas will override all member limitations created within individual groups.

To create another group, click the Add Group button [1]. You can create as many groups as you need. You can keep track of the groups by locating the groups counter [2].

Students can be assigned to groups manually or automatically.

To manage a group, click the group Options menu [1]. To edit the name of the group, click the Edit link [2]. To delete the group, click the Delete link [3].
