Video 3: Groups Overview
Group work is another common component of iSchool courses. Some instructors may automatically assign you to a group. Others will allow you to choose a group to join. Once in a group, Canvas has tools for collaborating with other members to complete assignments in its own mini Canvas site that only your group (and instructor) can see. In that area, you can create private discussions, upload files, and make announcements
