Blog: New copy groups (staff)

The facility to create a copy of a group set from one Canvas course to another

The Teaching and Learning Academy have developed a tool which creates helps you to create multiple copies of the same group across a different Canvas course in a programme.

Canvas has a group creation functionality that allows a tutor to place particular students in a combination of groups. Within these groups the students can collaborate and socialise through organised activities or by creating and managing their own processes.  

Students study a number of modules at the same time. It makes sense that the group combinations across these modules should be the same in order to maximise the opportunity for students to learn and socialise together. To create a group and canvas is relatively easy but to recreate these across a number of modules, takes time for staff and can lead to inaccuracies.
