Canvas Tips and Tools

Cross-listing should be done while courses are unpublished. Coursework is retained with the course, not with the section enrollments, so if a published course is cross-listed, all cross-listed enrollments will lose any associated assignment submissions and grades.

Once your courses have been combined, you can use Canvas e-mail lists to e-mail your students.

Instructors can add guests to their Canvas sites, such as graduate students, co-advisors, etc.

Groups are a way to group students in your course and let them submit one assignment for the group and receive one grade for the group.

1. Click People in the Course Navigation.
2. Click the Group Set button.
3. Enter a name in the Group Set Name box.
4. Optional: Check the Allow self sign-up or the Require group members to be in the same section boxes.
5. Select Split students into groups and enter the number of groups in the box, or select I'll create groups manually.
6. Click the Save button.

Note that you should NOT use Canvas for the management of any documentation or reference material that you want your team to have access to each semester. It is difficult to move content from one semester's Canvas site to the next. Please use the VIP wiki site for your team to maintain documentation and reference material:
