I have searched and so far all I get in information for group assignments, when students work collaboratively in a group.  My question is different and, perhaps, the Canvas terminology is different than I am used to.  In Moodle, I used to be able to make a subset (a group) of students in my classes that received modified versions of certain assignments and tests.  When I would make those assignments and tests, I could simply select the group name and assign to it.  Only the students in that group could see the modified assignment and tests on their course page.  For everybody else outside that group, it was invisible.

Currently, the only way I can figure out to achieve something similar is for each modified assignment, typing in and selecting each individual student to have it assigned to them.  It is monotonous and time consuming.  I am looking for a way to quickly assign the item to the group members at once.

I hope my explanation makes sense.

Thank you for your time! 🙂
