Instructor: see group membership or find a student in groups

[lovebrad]

As an instructor, how can I find out which group an individual student is in? 

Per the Canvas instructions, all groups are collapsed by design, nor is there any way to search. Groups can be open/viewed by opening each one through clicking the arrow, but that is not practical in a large class. 

What are the search options to find a student's group so I can check an individual's engagement?

There is a quick way to download all memberships in a group set as a spreadsheet. Click +Import. Click Download Course Roster CSV. Close the Import modal window. Open that CSV file, and you can search for students' groups there.

Thank you. I appreciate the workaround that helps get the job done. 

It would be so helpful if the search that already exists on that page could be integrated or the groups could be opened for Control-F search. The inefficiencies of the UX are just so wild to me, but here we are. I appreciate you taking the time to help.
