Teaching students how to work together effectively is a vital skill, but managing logistics in a digital space can be a challenge. This session focuses on how to use Canvas Groups and Collaborations to create structured, accountable, and engaging team-based learning experiences.
We will explore how to move from individual tasks to collaborative projects where students can co-author documents, share resources, and communicate within their own private "mini-course" spaces.
Key Topics 📋 Group Sets & Categories: Learn how to automatically or manually split your roster into project teams, lab groups, or reading circles. Student Group Spaces: Discover the "Mini-Canvas" environment students get—including their own pages, discussions, and file storage. Group Assignments: Master the "One Submission per Group" feature to streamline your grading while still providing individual or collective feedback. Collaborations with Google/Microsoft: See how to integrate external tools so students can co-edit a single document or slide deck directly within Canvas.
