Create a space for your tutorial/lecture/other group

You can use the create groups and group homepages for your individual tutorial/lecture groups, as restricting Files access to sections that silos content for a tutorial/lecture/seminar in courses is not possible in Canvas.

The easiest way to create the groups is via an import. Before importing, you will need to download your class roster in order to facilitate this.

For example, the "Group set" can be created as Lecture Groups, within which you can have the groups named as Lecture Group 1, Lecture Group 2, etc. Once the groups are created, in People, you will find the group set as a tab (in the example screenshot, the group set is Assignment Groups).  Students can access the groups from this the tab.

To access the group space, instructors will need to click the "three vertical dots" for a group, and then click "Visit group homepage".

You will see that each group has a limited, mini-version of Canvas. To navigate between groups, click Switch Group on the top left.
