Discussions

Discussion forums in Canvas can be open to the entire class or restricted to student groups.  To set up groups for small group discussion you use the "+Groups" button in the People Tool.  NOTE - creating a Group Set allows the group to have its own space for collaborations and document sharing.  You do have access to see what each group is working on at any given time.
