Canvas Groups

[SARAHGOBE]

I want to break my students into groups to do group work, and then have other groups critique their work?  What is the best way to do this?

@SARAHGOBE -

I am not sure how to go about doing what you want.  Maybe someone else knows if it is possible or if it is not possible.

However, here is the instructors guide link

and here is the link to the section of the guide dealing with groups.  You may find your answer in one of these pages.

Hi, @SARAHGOBE 

Yes, you should be able to do this. 

You will make the groups in your People tab and then enable the "This is a group assignment" option in your assignment. This is a quick how-to that I made for our teachers. 

Once you've made the groups and the assignment, you'll be able to enable the peer edit option as well in those same assignment settings. You can choose whether they are automatically assigned or randomly assigned. I have not done this on a group assignment, so I'm not exactly sure how it doles them out, but it will definitely send them other groups' work to look at.
